Overview

Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically 150 years before the invention of photography? Spanning a decade, Jenison's adventure takes him to Holland, on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artista David Hockney, and eventually even to Buckingham Palace. The epic research project Jenison embarques on is as extraordinary as what he discovers.

00:04:10 The amazing wizard!

00:06:40 Hockney wrote that when pictures started to look less like this

00:09:01 lmagine this is wet paint.

00:11:47 we're using a photograph here.

00:14:14 The father-in-law picture was proof enough in my mind that Vermeer probably did this.

00:16:46 Okay.

00:18:52 Just mundane things Iike how much usabIe Iighting do you get in a day.

00:21:38 While some believe that Vermeer painted from his imagination

00:26:13 So the onIy reaI source of information to answer a question Iike that

00:29:45 Is it safe for there to be that much smoke?

00:35:40 The reason to go see Hockney was to bounce this idea off him

00:37:45 but never for both.

00:39:52 And you don't need a trained eye

00:41:58 severaI Iayers of different types of nerve ceIIs

00:44:27 I put on my magnifying binocuIars

00:47:05 He was now ready to paint.

00:54:05 No, I wouIdn't say that.

00:57:29 That's either a remarkabIe coincidence

01:04:04 And on the way to Iunch, driving to Iunch

01:08:31 Just painting more dots.

01:13:02 It Iooks actuaIIy wooIIy, doesn't it?

01:15:54 lt's just been forgotten for 350 years.
