Last night, we watched the movie "Tim's Vermeer".
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim%27s_Vermeer>
Remember in The Colour of Magic the 'camera' that has a demon inside that almost instantly paints the subject? It
appears very likely that Vermeer did the same thing, albeit much more slowly.
A fascinating picture of imagination and obsession, It also helped explain my
own complex reaction to Vermeer.
Other wonderful aspects of the technique are the amazing shading of light and
color accuracy.
Highly Recommended
