Sorry but most of the paintings you show were not painted by Vermmeer.

Some people forget that Jan Vermeer paintings are very "unique" because he was the first artist to use extensively the "Camera obscura", a primitve 17th C. camera that projected an upside-down but in color image of the surroundings onto a mirror/optics and then the artist could traced the projected image onto paper/canvas. This explains why some of his works have a slight distorted view as when you see something thru a lens. ("fish-eye" syndrome) Vermeer works are very sophisticated in technique

Great video! Thank you for posting it.

@Hoswendt You are probably more correct. I'm pretty sure he didn't traced everything. He used both the camera obscura and his artistic talent because even nature is not perfect enough for the vision of an artist.

@edwin11373 Johannis Van der Meer used camera obsura in precisely 6 paintings and even painted a part of the camera obscura box in the mirror reflection in the painting "The Music Lesson". However, you cannot say that he traced the images of the other works with the help of camera obsura. He may simply observed the effect and transposed it...

True, but it is what I consider raped. The lack of Early Music knowledge ruins the inner magic of this music... And I find it a bit awkward putting a pseudo performance of Mozart to these paintings, they are mid baroque :P At least it should be historically informed...

But again - it would be better with some rusty, rough and most deep French mid baroque music as Marais or Lully. And of course authentically played... I feel a powerful urge to enlighten people about Early Music :)
