I agree, it is a terrific movie. From what little I know of the art techniques of that period, it seemed very historically accurate too. The only thing I noticed that seemed out of place was the very large quantities of paint that Vermeer had mixed and laid out for the day. Considering the price of ingredients, the difficulty in grinding them and the way Vermeer painted, he wouldn't use that much paint in weeks! A wonderful movie, though.
