Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art:  How did 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically – 150 years before the invention of photography?   The epic research project Jenison embarks on to test his theory is as extraordinary as what he discovers.

Unexpectedly dazzling. ” – Tom Long, Detroit News
 
” TIM’S VERMEER is about many things – art history, technology, painting technique, beauty – but ultimately it’s a beguiling study of fascination.” – Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
