Tim’s Vermeer

A film in which Tim Jenison ‘paints a Vermeer’ using a type of camera obscura, together with a ‘comparator mirror’. The film was directed by Teller, produced by Penn Gillette and Farley Ziegler for High Delft Pictures, and distributed by Sony. It was short-listed for an Oscar, and nominated for a BAFTA. I paint a picture of a pottery jug with Tim Jenison using his mirror device, and discuss Jenison’s finished version of Vermeer’s ‘The Music Lesson’ with him and David Hockney
