Location: Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University
In Tim's Vermeer, Tim Jenison, a Texas-based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did 17th-century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer (Girl
with a Pearl Earring) manage to paint so photo-realistically—150 years before the invention of photography? The epic research project Jenison embarks on to test his theory is as extraordinary as what he discovers.
Spanning eight years, Jenison's adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces, on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire
to meet artist David Hockney, and even to Buckingham Palace to see a Vermeer painting in the collection of the Queen.
Advance reservations for tickets are encouraged online,
as auditorium seating is limited. Admission is free. During your visit, experience Rembrandt,
Rubens, Gainsborough, and the Golden Age of Painting in Europe.
