The movie ‘Girl With A Pearl Earring’ was filmed in 2003.
The star; Scarlett Johansson was made for such a role. Physically, there was a great resemblance.
Even genetically, there was a link.
Vermeer was Dutch, while Scarlett’s father Karsten Johansson is a Danish born architect from Copenhagen. A region that is culturally very similar to Vermeer’s birth place in Holland.
As any student of Fine Art would know, Vermeer was famous for the works he produced by using Egg Tempera paints.
Andrew Wyeth adopted the same technique hundreds of years later.
such a visually beautiful movie - so evocative of the time and period. i re-watch it from time to time.
I’ve watched that movie a couple times, and enjoyed it.
