The Dark Tower by Stephen King is an expansive story that spans 7 books, telling Roland the Gunslinger's journey to the Tower; involving different genres, many characters, many worlds - a big lore. At a certain point whether you have read the series or not is probably irrelevant. If you haven't read the books, I would imagine the movie just will feel flat and lifeless, with only a few scenes from McConaughey standing out. If you have read the books, you'll likely find the movie a spectacular failure, wondering how the writers managed to dumb down such promising material to a 95 minute generic action movie, and making an actor like Idris Elba overact in a character that should have endless potential.

Could it be that Vermeer, like Torrentius, chose to hide his involvement with the camera in order not to diminish his artistic accomplishments in the eyes of his contemporaries? If he so, he must have had a difficult time. Huygens lived an hour's walk from Vermeer's Delft, was the principal promoter of the device amongst Dutch artists and was almost certainly aware of Vermeer's presence.

Vermeer and the Camera Obscura, Part Three

Moreover, anyone familiar with the camera has no trouble tracing various stylistic peculiarities of Vermeer's paintings to the camera's image, produced by imperfect lens and focal limits. Despite their astonishing accuracy, seventeenth-century lenses did not focus with complete precision through the entire depth of fields. Like objects through the camera obscura, Vermeer's forms are defined by contrasting areas of light and dark color rather than by hard outlines.

This clear, smooth, but soft-edged contouring often yields geometric abstraction , of the sort seen in the Girl with a Pearl Earring and Study of a Young Woman.

Here the shape of the head is conceived in broad areas of light and dark, separated by softly rounded edges. The camera obscura also produces differentiation of focus throughout the depth of field, leaving objects in for- and background planes blurred while giving sharper images of the middle ground. In most of Vermeer's paintings such a sharp differentiation is avoided, but the effect is evident in early works such as the Little Street and insistent in the late Girl with a Red Hat.

The disks of confusion seen on the screen of a camera obscura occur in the place of natural highlights, bright reflections of various forms and intensities frequently seen with the naked eye on shiny surfaces such as glass or polished metal. Although no single of the above considerations can prove that Vermeer used the camera obscura as an aid to painting, their combined presence has convinced modern scholarship that the device was indeed a central part of the artist's working methods.

Camera Obscura by Abelardo Morell

An eventual systematic use of the camera obscura would not, in reality, neither diminish nor contradict, but rather, would be in line with the underlying fundamental artistic intent of the great part of Vermeer's oeuvre. There he could spend the hours watching the silent women move to and fro.

In an exclusive Essential Vermeer interview, Mr. Huerta, author of Giants of Delft: Johannes Vermeer and the Natural Philosophers: The Parallel Search for Knowledge During the Age of Discovery , perhaps furnishes a very useful consideration in regards: Vermeer's use of instrumental adjuncts does not conflict with his art, but rather allows us—if we investigate that use—to better understand the nature of his creativity.

Philip Steadman has also offered some very interesting considerations in merit in an exclusive Essential Vermeer interview. The enchanting ocular effects produced by the[camera obscura] no doubt stimulated [Vermeer's] aesthetic interest to such an extent that he often replicated them in his art. Yet at the same time Vermeer modified these effects to suit his artistic vision, often, surprisingly, exaggerating them. For instance, he could not have observed them on the bread depicted in The Milkmaid because the camera obscura will, as we have seen, only cause halations on projected objects that reflect light such as metal or polished wood.

Had these boats been viewed through a camera obscura, reflections would not have been present, as they were only visible in direct sunlight. It would thus be reductive to consider the View of Delft —or, for that matter, any painting by Vermeer—a simple transcription of the projected image seen by the artist through the camera obscura. An imposing tactility is also detected in other works of this phase: Wayne Franits, "Johannes Vermeer: Vermeer and the Camera Obscura part three Why and how did Vermeer Employ the Camera Obscura Although scholars are not in agreement exactly to what extent Vermeer employed the camera obscura as an aid to his painting, few doubt that he was familiar with its workings and employed it in some phase of his working procedure.

Perspective The accurate portrayal of three dimensional space through perspective has been recently understood to have played a more important role in Vermeer's art than was once thought.

Study of a Young Woman detail Johannes Vermeer c. Metropolitan Museum of Art , New York. By painstakingly reconstructing the three dimensional space of ten of Vermeer's interiors using the method of "inverse perspective," Steadman deduced that they were all painted in the same room.

He then was able to deduce the exact measurements of the rooms themselves using the measurements of a few objects represented in Vermeer's painting which have survived till today, such as the maps which hang on the far wall and the Spanish chairs. Based on these calculations Steadman arrives at the his key finding which he states in a reply to his critics in Vermeer's Camera.
