Great to see Colin Firth in most any movie, and he did not disappoint, as Vermeer.
I like the fact that his character did not physically commit adultery, with the maid, Griet, who was young enough to be one of his many children.
Of course, this was a fictional account, & I would hope that the real Vermeer was all business...but you never can tell, with artists, can you?
If, indeed, Vermeer hungered for the love of a woman who understood his work, & who was very interested in mixing paints, & in studying the play of light on a subject, etc., it's too bad that he found himself marrying for financial security, rather that finding his soulmate.
And...it's too bad that Griet didn't have the opportunity to go to Art School.
