1. Wow--I was thinking the same thing, but about another artist. 2. I didn't realize most of Vermeer's painting are done at the same studio. The studio does look like it's on the first floor? (The way the lighting hits his subjects?) 3. Vermeer was not a famous artist when he was alive, and died in debt.(Probally, like I will). It would be very easy to set up staging area outside a room--noone cared about? 4. Woulden't it be ironic if his famous painting The Little Street 1658 is directly across from his original studio? 5. I got this from the wiki on Vermeer, and it's probally false, but here goes,"Here Vermeer lived for the rest of his life, producing paintings in the front room on the second floor". Second floor! Now, a staging area in the air? 6. I'll watch the video, and suffer through Penn & Teller, but in my heart I don't think he used camera obscura. 7. My favorite styles of art have been Expressionism, and Modern Art. I don't think these can be faked? I only got into art after some pretty sever anxiety issues--It might be the only positive out of a horrid situation?
