Artist Project II:
Film: Life of an Artist
The Girl with a Pearl
The
girl with a pearl is a young beautiful servant that inspired a famous artist
when he painted the girl oil on canvas. Before, there is no historical evidence
between the painter and his family, his wife didn’t appreciate his artworks,
but the servant was really appreciated. So the artist who was Johannes Vermeer began to teach the servant how to separate color
and how to define color by the window when the sun comes through. As she
loved Johannes Vermeer painting, Van Ruijven a friend of the artist asked Vermeer to paint
the servant, the artist didn't hesitate and that was the end of the servant days to clean Vermeer's studio which
his wife Catharina never entered.
I love this movie, it is a
little slow but the actors are incredible, they transmit a lot of things without
words. I watched this movie several times. I love the way the servant stays
silent and never react to her mistress. Perhaps, I understanding the silences
has a deep meaning and how words are not always needed to argue. You
should see that movie!
