    Excellent commentary. I just watched the movie with the same name. Even though it was fiction and not based on historical fact, the movie was a masterpiece in its own right and I think it will generate renewed interest in this beautiful painting and the artist Vermeer. He was a true master of light.

    Look at her eyes and the soft light and the shadows. Vermeer was always very good at painting light, capturing the moment like a photograph. This picture looks like it was shot by a camera because this emotion she's displaying looks like it can't be faked, n she has to have had to stand like that for months it's just so beautiful. I want to know her, her story. Her eyes are telling a story, her lips are saying another. The turban, the coarse dress n the pearl earring tell a different story each ugh I love it so much

      Hafsa Hameed Ali Vermeer did NOT use a camera. He is such a great artist that he can paint something with his brush and create perspective with a pinhole and a string and make you believe he used a camera. That is one of the reasons why he is such a great artist. but most of al it is his compositions, colour, light and mystery he gave his paintings that makes him one of the greatest painters of all time.

    She's incredibly beautiful. No surprise he wanted to use her as a model.

      I think she is very likely his tweenage daughter, playing dress-up.

      New Yoko First of all, Vermeer's paintings are so magical because of his composition, subject matter, colour, use of light and his brilliant painting tecnique. All these things combined make him a master and none of these things have anything to do with how he painted. Vermeer made these wonderfull images for us to admire 300 years later still and that is a fact.
      Second, there is literally ZERO evidence for that ridiculous camera obscura theory. There is only a lot of avidence proving he painted like any other painter in the 17th century did. Like the pin hole in his paintings from where he pinned a thread to create the vanishing point for perspective. Vermeer never owned a camera obscura. When he died and all his possessions were put up for auction there wasn't one found in his studio. No one who ever visited him while he was painting ever made any mention of him using any kind of device. Also it is not possible to use a camera obscura indoors in a small room like Vermeer's studio. A camera obscura needs much more light to be effective.

      Anyone who can paint as well as Vermeer has no use for a camera obscura. Painting is drawing.
