Though these painters were heavily influenced by one another, the difference is remarkable. See also: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Gerard_ter_Borch_d._J._004.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Gerard_te... for a difference between Vermeer's walls and other painters of the time period.
But then I saw: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Pieter_de_Hooch_019.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Pieter_de... and that closet nearly renders as real to me, it almost has one of those 60s cut-and-paste photoshop feel to it.
Really like the documentary too. Rekindled some of my awe with art and the process it takes. One thing I didn't spot in the documentary, but can see in detail in Tim's Vermeer: http://www.vanityfair.com/dam/2013/11/vermeer-the-music-lesson-method-02.jpg http://www.vanityfair.com/dam/2013/11/vermeer-the-music-less... I think Tim painted his own feet in the mirror.
