"A Penn & Teller film."
Tim Jenison, Penn Jillette, David Hockney, Philip Steadman, Martin Mull.
Tim Jenison, a Texas-based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did seventeenth century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically, 150 years before the invention of photography? Spanning ten years, his adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces, to the north coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney, and even to Buckingham Palace to see a Vermeer masterpiece in the collection of the Queen.
DVD, widescreen presentation; described video.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Interesting submitted by rsbrown on August 1, 2014, 8:26pm We watched this as a family one evening and we all enjoyed it. The 8 year old found it a little long but the 12 year old was really into it. One of the best documentary's I've seen lately. Don't have to be an art lover to like it.
