For at brødføde familien må Griet nu tage arbejde som tjenestepige, og gudskelov lykkes det hende at få en plads i huset hos den berømte maler Johannes Vermeer. Forholdet mellem dem blomster hurtigt, da Griet har en stor medfødt forståelse for malerkunstens mysterier, men deres forhold forpurres snart, da stort set alle i Vermeers omgangskreds ser skævt til den smukke Griet... Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
In order to support her family, seventeen-year-old Griet becomes a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer and soon attracts the master painter's attention. Although worlds apart in upbringing and social standing, Vermeer recognises her intuitive understanding of his work and slowly draws her into his mysterious world of art and passion.
Whilst she falls increasingly under Vermeer's spell, his volatile family quickly grow jealous of her. Maria, his shrewd mother-in-law, struggles to maintain the family's lavish lifestyle, and seeing that Griet inspires Vermeer, takes the decision to let their relationship to develop. Van Ruijven, also sensing the intimacy between master and maid, commissions Vermeer to paint Griet's portrait.
The result will be one of the greatest paintings ever created... but at what cost? |
