Colin Firth plays the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
The story is a fictional account of the 1665 painting by the same name. Scarlett Johannsen plays the girl. In reality, this young woman's identity is not known and very little is known about the background of Vermeer's most famous work.
The movie is extremely well done and has wonderful costumes, good acting and excellent photography.
Here is the original painting.
The movie replica shown below is pretty good.
If you have not seen this movie I recommend it - especially if you enjoy art or history.
Take care and thanks for stopping by.
