For discussion:
How well do you think the film illustrates social and cultural contexts of the human condition in Vermeer’s time?
What is your personal reaction to the article discussing how Vermeer mixed his paints? Were you surprised at the amount of work that went into them, or does this meet expectations you would assume it would take to make paint before modern industrial techniques?
