BBC Four series 'Lives of Artists' by Andrew Graham Dixon good watch
Last night's episode focused on the contrasting tumultous and criminal family history surrounding Vermeer in contrast to the calming ordered tranquility of his works. Involving Delft's 17th century history, encouraged flooding to prevent invasion and how the loss/deconstruction of Vermeer's patron, culture and family led him to his final destructive days.Now available on BBCiPlayer for a week.

Absolutely brilliant programme. Gripping insight into an indeed mysterious artist's life and interesting hypothesis brought forward. Thanks BBC, once again.
