life of an artist

"Girl with a Pearl Earring", 1665a movie "Girl with a pearl earring" is about a famous painter of 17th century Johannes Vermeer and a history about his work "The girl with a pearl earring". On this picture is a girl Grete which the artist hired to work in his house. She was from a poor family and worked very hard to get little bit money for her parents. The work in Vermeer's house was not easy, especially after the artist's decision to portray Grete. Vermeer's wife Katarina was very jealous her husband to the young pretty servant. She sent Grete away after she knew that Grete borrowed Katarina's favorite pearl earrings for the portrait.
The painting became very famous after Johannes' death.

I very liked this movie and I can recommend it to everyone who like drama and biography movie. During watching I felt as if I moved in Holland at that time. From this movie I also learned a peace of history of 17th century, how people used to live, with what principles and wishes.
