Plot
Summary: The artist, Antonio Lopez, tries to paint
the quince tree he planted some time back in his
garden. Throughout his life, he has worked on
the same theme many times, alost as if it were
a physical necessity. Every year, with the arrival
of autumn, this need resurfaces. The artist´s
work has never represented the sun´s rays
between the leaves of the tree, and, given his
characteristic realist style, he tries to achieve
this. But he goes about it in the same way, without
consciously pursuing a finished picture - he just
wants to be close to the fragile lavish tree for
a few weeks.

Plot
Summary : This
film, adapted from a work of fiction by author
Tracy Chevalier, tells a story about the events
surrounding the creation of the painting "Girl
With A Pearl Earring" by 17th century Dutch master
Johannes Vermeer. Little is known about the girl
in the painting, it is speculated that she was
a maid who lived in the house of the painter along
with his family and other servants, though there
is no historical evidence . This masterful film
attempts to recreate the mysterious girl's life.
Griet, played wonderfully by Scarlett Johansson,
is a maid in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer,
played by British actor Colin Firth. Vermeer's
wealthy patron and sole means of support, Van
Ruijven, commissions him to paint Griet with the
intent that he will have her for himself before
it is finished. She must somehow secretly pose
for the crucial painting without the knowledge
of Vermeer's wife, avoid Van Ruijven's grasp,
and protect herself from the cruel gossip of the
world of a 17th century servant.
