It sounded good at first, but like total crap the next moment. Everyone who actually has something to do with art knows it better, way much better. The reason why artists stopped to work more accuratly had other reasons and the idea that artists just became better again was due optics is ridiculous. Some might have used them as a tool, but it's nevertheless hard work in the end. A movie about Vermeer himself would be more interesting. Can't wait to see Mr. Turner soon. - @Thursday, September 11, 2014 10:29 AM

The Camera Obscura has been in use since the 10th Century. I eagerly await Tim 's "discovery" of Steam Power for boats. - @Monday, December 9, 2013 6:13 PM

Hmm....pretty sure there were realistic and accurate paintings before Vermeer though. There were many ways to get accuracy beyond camera obscuras. The real magic of a Vermeer was in the lighting though, which is usually off in other paintings and looks too much like studio light(sans Impressionism) because it usually was in studio with extra stuff added in. - @Thursday, September 19, 2013 12:59 PM
