Girl with a Pearl Earring 2003

The first image shown is Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, which is a focal painting that draws the viewer to the pearl earring that is dangling from the girl's ear. This painting is from the 17th century Northern Barroque time period. Some characteristics that identify with this time period are the darker shades of color and the single beam of light that is giving a juxtaposition of color in the painting. In 2003 the movie, Girl with a Pearl Earring was created and this is not directly influenced by the painting but it is however influenced by the novel which has the same name and is influenced by the painting. The movie takes place in the same time period and country as where the painting was originally created.
