Obsessed with discovering the secret of Johannes Vermeer's photo-realistic artwork, inventor Tim Jenison embarks on an illuminating eight-year journey that takes him not only to the Dutch city of Delft, where the celebrated master created some of his best-known works, but also to the North coast of Yorkshire for a conversation with artist David Hockney, and to Buckingham Palace to bask in the full glory of a Vermeer masterpiece. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tim Jenison, a Texas-based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did seventeenth century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically, 150 years before the invention of photography? Spanning ten years, his adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces, to the north coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney, and even to Buckingham Palace to see a Vermeer masterpiece in the collection of the Queen.
