Vermeer at the Movies

The year is 1945, and two former Dutch resistance

members are investigating the sale of stolen art

masterpieces to Nazis. Among the recovered paintings

is a Vermeer sold to Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Implicated is portraitist Han van Meergerin, who had

amassed a fortune as an art dealer during World War II.

But competing motives are at work—and both truth

and genius are hard to pin down. Sony Pictures Classics

historical-fi ction feature fi lm The Last Vermeer,

opening on May 21, tells the intriguing story.
