It's a cupser-cool project, but it's sad that it only half-engages with its subject. Tim builds himself a replica of Vermeer's studio and then painstakingly commits a visual record of it to canvas using optical tools.

There's virtually no discussion of the design of Vermeer's paintings, which was elaborate to say the very least. I was so hopeful that time would apply his technique to some other subject, but it stays almost myopically focused on the rendering process.
