Movie Matinee:
Girl with a Pearl Earring
This film 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. This masterful film attempts to recreate the mysterious girl's life. 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.

We went back to a slightly older movie for our matinee this month. The new release movie I had planned on showing won't arrive here on time.
Along with our events, we've been busy, busy, busy cataloging new materials. Come in and see what is new!
