The tile maker has been blinded by an accident at his kiln, and his 17-year old daughter, Griet (Scarlett Johansson), must earn enough money to support the family. Unsentimentally, Griet is sent to work as a servant in the chaotic household of painter Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth). Vermeer’s wife, Catharina (Essie Davis), is high- strung, jealous and nasty to the girl, who’s also resented by the other maid. But the real power in the household rests with Vermeer’s mother-in-law, Maria Thins (Judy Parfitt), who owns the house and secures Vermeer commissions from a wealthy patron and art collector, Pieter Van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson). Van Ruijven has noticed the new servant girl. Aware of Catharina’s jealousy of the girl and the husband’s interest in her, he tells Maria he wants a painting of Griet for his personal collection. In the past, Maria has clandestinely supported Vermeer’s need to have models, keeping such machinations secret from her own daughter. After the older woman observes Vermeer looking at the girl in a particular, close manner, Maria orders the reluctant Griet to model for the painter. Maria does not know Griet has been mixing paints, run- ning errands for the painter, and keeping her activities secret for the past few months. The actual 1656 painting by Vermeer, Girl With a Pearl Earring, has mysterious origins. Most of Vermeer’s work was done in a corner of his studio, as is this one, but his models came from family and friends. The model for this famous painting is unknown. Novelist Tracy Chevalier had a print of the painting in her bedroom for many years. One morning, the writer began wondering about the model and artist, how the model’s facial expression showed such variety of emotions and what her relation- ship to the artist was really like. Chevalier’s book achieved best-seller status. Lately, I’ve read two other excellent fic- tional treatments of artists and models. Larry Watson’s novel, Orchard (Random House, 2003), is imaginatively based on American painter Andrew Wyeth and his oft-painted model, Helga. The other novel imagines a story about American impres- sionist painter and French expatriate, Mary Cassatt, and the extraordinary series of por- traits she painted of her ill sister, Lydia. The book is called Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriet Scott Chessman (Seven Stories Press, 2001). Both are high- ly recommended. Modeling for an artist, from the model’s point of view, is an experience of being seen, being deeply looked at and under- stood by another person. I don’t doubt Vermeer’s unknown model had such a non- verbal experience. The emotions in her face speak to both the joy and sadness of such an intensely private encounter. Unlike many critics of Girl With the Pearl Earring, I whole-heartedly love the film, maybe because I first saw Lost in Translation, which is also a unique love story starring the marvelous Scarlett Johansson. Here Johansson gives a nearly wordless performance, but at the end of her part in the film, the viewer knows her char- acter intimately. Johansson has the maturity to contain her emotions but let them find expression in her face and demeanor. Likewise, Colin Firth makes the brood- ing, intense Vermeer come alive in his pas- sion for art, his drive for perfection and his silent appreciation for the artistic sensibili- ties of the young servant girl who under- stands him. Girl With the Pearl Earring opens at Cinema World Friday. Very highest recom- mendations. ew
