There was some distortion there. | Fresh (108) Don’t know if it is a clever hoax but if it is genuine then at the very least Tim Jenison is being disingenuous when he says he is not an artist. The use of a camera obscura gives the notion a whole new meaning, as does the visual format in which it is present: that’s exactly what Tim (and Teller) are doing. I suspect this artist might be using a similar technique. I just saw the film and was totally excited to try this. The true genius of Tim’s Vermeer and presentations by Hockney, Steadman and Falco et al., is the sheer volume of conversation generated through armchair expertise; skepticism; experimentation and most importantly, a fervent desire to learn more about Vermeer and the Golden Age. I’ll add that I loved the movie. I’m not an artist but I am very interested in technology. And while great for sketching an outline, it’s done in the dark and then you’ve got to transfer to a reference photo for painting details. Simply because you draw so many firm conclusions that must be accepted as fact in order to support your position. There was ample opportunity to study the original Music Lesson. All Critics (121) Sorry, Tim's Vermeer (2013) isn't available on Netflix United States, but is available in a different country. I also think that if you were to proceed in this manner there’d be a lot of errors and paint-build-up. Best of BBC iPlayer You may have fraudulent motives. 7. However, to at least address your point #1, there is a device using the reflection technique for drawing available here: http://www.camera-obscura-lucida-shop.com. The image is an example of a ticket confirmation email that AMC sent you when you purchased your ticket. They have also been noted sceptics. They never show Jenison doing more than a few strokes: obviously, that would be like “watching paint dry” and so they didn’t do that. You could look for this glass at a commercial window and mirror glass shop if they have been around for awhile. Fascinating film. Now I was able to reproduce an object using the setup however moving around the workspace without significantly changing the size of the object in the diagonal. At the end of the episode, he says he’ll address it in next week’s episode! | Top Critics (38) Basically, they didn’t want a straw man and also the possibility that there was some balance there. Last summer it was in an exhibition at the National Gallery. Any number of these can easily be disproven should anyone of significance read this article and so I would be thrilled to be proven wrong here. A candy bar wrapper? Cinemark I or anyone else can contact them to sit through 2,400 hours of footage. But even so, it would only have accomplished 5% of the work. In the interests of fairness, you should post a note right at the top of the article that explains that Teller responded to all your criticisms below. This was at a time when Vermeer had to create all of the geometry of his setup from scratch. At least put it in the living room. Of course I didn’t paint at night. You find it preposterous do you. This took me about 1/2 an hour: http://i.imgur.com/teGLPZp.jpg Maybe not the best drawing ever (it’s only about 3 inches tall) but certainly my best. It is not at all preposterous, and quite logical to question the issue of changing lighting in a copying system such as this. I don’t believe that Vermeer could have copied his room in the same way….and it’s not because I don’t want my “idols to have feet of clay”, as someone suggested. 3. In large part, it is a skill you need to learn. Personally, I would love to learn a technique like this and produce some art. Not only does all of which not take away from the magic of the paintings, but actually puts us all in awe of the painstaking tasks it took to create such great art. And it’s even more difficult to mimic that precise color by, in part, teeny strokes directly on the canvas. Sometimes I like to do “panorama” shots where several images are stitched together digitally. An inventor goes on a quest to learn how Dutch master Johannes Vermeer painted so photo-realistically 150 years before the invention of photography. fastfilmreviews.com. Just my opinion. It’s like watching an episode of Jonathan Creek. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. 5. I’ve said this before and I haven’t read where anyone can explain how he could. A time-lapse of the scene coming together spans over 200 days, an act of love as much as it is science. And, yes, why on earth did he hang the painting in his bedroom? The only part I could really disagree with was the idea that people can’t see or work the fading/ shading of light. In a manner of speaking, the machine has a built in automatic brightness and automatic white balance control. But suppose you spend 100 days painting a picture, what would you do with that picture? ( Log Out / Further, you can avoid distortion in the tracing by drawing a small cross hair at the center of the target picture and another on your canvas (on a small piece of masking tape). For one, Jenison attempts to go and see the original Vermeer of the Music Lesson — a painting he is going to spend 5 years trying to replicate. http://www.instructables.com/id/Building-and-testing-the-optical-apparatus-from-Ti/. Yes, it wasn’t easy. Every bit the magic trick that Penn & Teller are known for conjuring, except in seeing Tim apply one precise brushstroke after another, there's no question as to how it's done, though there still remains a great deal of wonder. Get unlimited DVD Movies & TV Shows delivered to your door with no late fees, ever. Tim's Vermeer is, just that, Tim Jenison's "Vermeer." This is one of those situations where I am more than happy to have been proven wrong. This could even be seen from the glimpses of the painting in the video yet nothing on it was ever mentioned or noticed.Not claiming it’s a hoax or anything; just an incredible oversight? As to the optics in Vermeer’s death inventory, there would have been two common mirrors, and the lens could well have been borrowed from a telescope, which were plentiful at the time. It probably plays more like a special on public television than as a theatrical movie, but as far as this art history buff is concerned, I was transfixed. 'Tim's Vermeer'. None of this is a lock. Tim’s device isn’t available for purchase: Penn agreed this was surprising but Tim Jenison will likely produce one. go to the comments section. Preposterous that anyone should question something….that they saw in a movie? I thought it would be difficult. If Tim didn’t rely on natural lighting alone. It’s just something you can do. Wherever you are, look around. The point is that, having supposedly made the furniture, spending 100 odd days doing meticulous painting is easy to stomach. If Tim was using natural light only, to duplicate Vermeer’s conditions, this technique simply wouldn’t work. You say that Tim could not possibly do this by natural lighting… why not? Warm vs. cool, saturation, tone. Now we are talking about adding color to the equation? Images on VODzilla.co are authorised and subject to restrictions. If you have the natural skill, doing realistic art is not incredible. I assumed they would address the light issue, but they never did. But the thing I found most incredible (and unbelievable) about the movie is Tim’s alleged ability to “match” real colors with paint colors. You can see both pictures side-by-side here: I could easily believe that someone with a good understanding of colour could use it to product photo like paintings. Thus I am interested in replicating the 2nd device. Then again, what do I know about the science? My attempt at a jerry-rigged version of your comparator mirror was not very successful. There was ample opportunity to study the original Music Lesson: apparently there wasn’t while they were making the movie but now the Queen has agreed to a high quality scan so that is coming. In the last scene, Tim’s head is about level with the bottom of the frame…the top third of any framed art needs to hang at eye level to be viewed properly. Renaissance geniuses still live! I’m an artist and I knew exactly and instantly why he hung it both where, and how high – to protect it – it’s in a family home with kids on the loose and other general day to day household goings-on. | Rating: B+ He says its possible Vermeer did it like the way he did. A healthy and necessary thing indeed. So let me turn to the movie itself to see if there are clues as to a potential hoax. I’m just glad we’re not calling each other names any more! It seems to me that the lighting conditions could not possibly have been sufficiently constant for the colour-matching-at-the-edge-of-the-mirror technique to work. I think it’s excrutiatingly difficult to do so–without training. The obvious next step was to give it a go. For the paint, he mixes the exact pigments from scratch. They may have an old piece in storage. What about people who can multiply large numbers in their head and give you the answer in a second. The lighting factor was my concern as well. It works.

Got no problem with the science at all. This image features one from the 1820’s (http://neolucida.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/camera-lucida-collection.jpg). I would not put it past Penn and Teller to do a Docufakery (if Joachim Phoenix can pretend to be a wrapper for over a year, anything is possible). Please enable javascript to view this site. I was completely sucked in to the premise but the next day some doubts started to rise and I haven’t been able to dismiss them. In vermeers panting of the milkmaid how would she have managed to hold that jug in that position for hours/ days. Thing is, I can’t find any specifics about the concave mirror. His attempt is comical.

The comparison at the edge of the mirror is unaffected. That will save people having to ready your entire article, only to know it was largely debunked, which will save people valuable time. For me the issue is that Jenison’s experiment does not conform with the scientific analyses of Vermeer’s pictures, which show that he painted in layers, starting with a dark underpainting which has no lines. I’ve actually used this device at MONA in Hobart Australia, and managed to produce a pretty fair likeness in pencil of Vermeer’s Pearl Earing painting.
