- We recreated Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring now we're going to show you how we perfected the lighting, which camera and lens we used, and the little tricks we figured out to perfect the smallest details.

What impresses me is the subtle details that Vermeer baked into his painting that made it so impressionable and the challenge of doing so in the 'real world'. Details I hadn't previously appreciated. I salute your persistence and patience with getting your daughter's photo to be so close to the original.
He was simply using a camera. A XVII century model ;)
Your daughter is very patient, looks like she's earned her pocket money bonus. 😁
Your daughter is so patient! Great Job!
I think Maddy gets MVP for sitting so still while I tucked, hot glued, and scrunched her into her outfit 💕
The Last Supper BUT every person is TONY! hahaha
You get me images of Tony's face from the side and in similar angles to the Last Supper and I think I can do it. Not very well of course but I think it can be done.
I made a quick example: i.ibb.co/zSfZkJz/spl-tony-northrup-the-last-supper.jpg
Dogs playing poker, but every dog is Pixel.
@@jackkraken3888 Haha!
Surely we need Jared as Jesus and Ken Wheeler as Judas.
This is really cool. Artists are so fascinated with this painting because of Vermeer's ability to capture light in such a wide tonal gradient. Nice work. Will be watching this again.
Fantastic! I love seeing the behind the scenes work and effort that goes into making a great image. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great video. Very fun and informative. So hard to get those subtle nuances just right. The final product is excellent! If you really want to challenge yourselves do the Mona Lisa.
Undeniably one of your best videos, and a great great idea. This makes up for a very interesting video, wish it was actually longer. You nailed it too fast almost.
Kudos to Tony, Chelsea and family for trying and doing such a great job at recreating the famous image! With your busy schedules you took the time to do something just for fun, no particular reason and couldn't help doing your best. Glad you guys put out content like this. It really inspires us all.
This is fantastic. I had a "wow" reaction from when you first posted it, but it's nice to see all the work that went into it.
The painting is amazing, it has more depth than a real picture. Thank for a project like this, I slowly understand why an art work in a museum has such an great value.
Just love your behind the scenes, a very patient daughter you got. I find it very interesting to see how you work. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family
Beautifully done. Jan Vermeer would be proud. If you've ever studied his work, most portraits of women he painted wore pearls. You two have given me so much inspiration and working knowledge of photography, I do own your book. I love your podcasts. Kudos Maddie! Keep doing what you do, thank you!
This is pretty sweet, guys. Obviously, you've gotta do American Gothic with Tony & Chelsea so we can watch you do this whole process, but also while making it a self-portrait. 😂
Chelsea, I love to hear your accent! As a Brazilian, I use your videos also to practice English listening. It sounds so clear to me that I use it as a reference on how pronunciation should be. Thanks!
Nothing short of amazing. Good job guys!
Brilliant idea and incredible execution!
Absolute amazing. Well done! The resemblance is striking. And how challenging and difficult it is to create the lighting that matches the light Vermeer saw when he completed this masterpiece.
I really loved this. What a challenge. You certainly were very successful in recreating the painting. Well done to Madelyn for all her patience.
Kudos to Madelyn's patience! Ok, so next: The Mona Lisa? :0)
I like everything you guys put on CZcams, but I particularly like this style of knowledge sharing from beginning to end and bts.... you all did a great job.!!! And i really like Vermeer so it’s nice to see some of his work get shared.
Wonderful painting, I'm from Delft, the city where Vermeer lived, and a lot of his paintings are awesome
Great video. This kind of thing makes one appreciate even more the talent and hard work of the classics.
The picture was beautiful, the work was hard for all.
And with all due respect, Tony, both your wife and your daughter are beautiful too.
I really appreciate this the behind-the-scenes look at how you created the portrait. That is a lot of skill and talent and patience at work.
That was fantastic. Really enjoyed seeing the process and thinking behind the creation.
your model needs to be paid!
I'm sure she's getting; room and board, plus an education.
@@SteveMillerhuntingforfood That's how the NCAA justifies slavery while they make billions off the athletes, the American way.
I agree. I hope they paid her well for her time... Seems like it took quite a while.
Beautiful idea and so much work to accomplish it! Wold love to see another!
The Scream by Edvard Munch try doing that one! Great video by the way.
I was thinking of The Scream too, but in a sarcastic way. Then I thought why not? The interpretation could be really interesting.
I was just about to write the same thing :-)
What a super awesome project! The final product was really off the charts good. Totally do more of these!!!
Fantastic! Great job Tony&Chelsea.
Wow.....very impressed with this work you've done!
This was so cool, crazy how she looks identical to the girl in the photo, you guys did a great job with this.
That was one of your most gratifying videos. Just so cool. Obviously it took a lot of work but totally worth it for such a great result.
This is fantastic!! Super interesting, and well done guys. Love the final product and cheers for your very patient model. Great content, as usual.
this is a gem of a video. she really has very similar features. Great job on lighting as well.
What a great video and so amazing result. Very inspiring.
This family is really special. Nice team work! I love your videos!
Awesome job! Such a cool family shoot. Bravo
My wife and I did this exact thing with our high school seniors last year. I even made a video about it on my channel. Great job you two. Probably a better choice of photo than the one you guys were gonna try. Lol
Just Amazing! Great Job!
pretty cool idea - I always look to art for inspiration, whether it be paintings or stills from movies and such
Wow! Great project. The eye reflection looks absolutely perfect!
Utterly amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
This so cool that you did this. Nice job. I was just watching the movie last night so it makes it mean so much more!
You are all great. A lot of work but the result is jaw dropping! Thanks for sharing the behind the scene vlog.
That was fun and educational! Thanks for sharing!
This was really fantastic! Engaging to watch throughout!
Its so important to show the work. Too many people think "I can do that" if they only had your equipment.
Impressive levels of dedication to art!
You guys did such a great job! Bravo!
Jim
Great story and telling. Thank you!
A lot of hard work goes into a shot. Love seeing the breakdown.
AMAZING!! incredible work, and all the little details you manage, so no extra retouch needed at the end. and love to see "American Gothic" or Diego Velazquez.
What a great undertaking, currently using that painting as inspiration in a shoot
This was an awesome project. Love it!
That was really cool. A lot of details that most would not notice.
Thank you very much for this video. It is fun to watch and inspiring.
The thing I loved about this video is it show cases how wether your replicate or try to get an image that you see in your head. How that process is literally an entire production all on its own in this case you both but definitely Chelsea took on multiple roles that if anyone needs with a ton of money were to do this would have hired let's say a wardrobe designer, makeup artist, maybe even prop person (just to obtain the ear ring) and maybe a hair person and one to assistants each which is a lot people and then the time spent in getting it just right Tony was like a scientist orchestrating everything to get the lighting right for the right shadowing and hilights. Well done guys I like it
I like I love Vermeer! What soft and lovely light he painted. The light was almost always daylight from a window on one side of the painting. Blue and Yellow, the idea of color valance and complementary colors was not introduced until the 18 century, good contrast pattern of balance of blue and yellow, reflection, and illusion!
Great work! I loved the video and I found it inspiring
That was fun. Something totally different. Well done.
Your daughter is a star, very patient and her face when you mention hot glueing the earring was a picture in its own right. It looked as if she believed your were going to glue it to her own ear. Great work as always
Very impressed. Great job.
You guys rock , on so many levels !!!
These series are really appreciated.
BTW, great work the three of you! Very nice video.
Very well done! You can be very proud of your selves! 👌🏼❤️ PS...love your makeup on this video Chelsea! I LOVE Pixel!!!!
Thanks, Benjamin!
Really enjoyed this vlog. Great work.
Fabulous! Really cool.
Great work guys !!!!
That was interesting and well done and the end result was great, neat project.
Wow awesome work!
Great job you guys!!
great video, great result!
Amazingly interesting, liked the video and the attention to detail.
Ironically, in order to create his incredible paintings, it has been suggested that Vermeer used a 'camera' or at least as close to a camera as technology would allow in his day. I suggest that you look up a little documentary called 'Tim's Vermeer' . . . it is very interesting!
What a fun project! Awesome final results! It's great your daughter agreed to do the project! I was able to convince my daughter to let me vlog and post a few of her cosplay events on my youtube channel which was lot of fun to video. Cheers! 😎
That's awesome. I'd love to see you recreating more of these or any other idea. Your videos are a great resource of creativity. Keep on inspiring thousands :)
Even if it waa quite a ton of work and time intense you pretty much nailed it. *thumbs up*
Very nice job guys!! 😎
Takes a lot time to pull off these experiments... I enjoyed it.
Great job on “The Girl With A Pearl Erring” painting. I like the detail that Tony has gone into with the earring to make it so good. Anyway nice job of making your daughter into a “classic” girl from history. The filming of Chelsea at the end is rather good too. Cheers
Lovely excercise. Congrats.
Whenever I see this painting (the original) in The Mauritshuis in The Hague, I marvel at how small it is. It's a treasure.
since you guys are sticklers for accuracy, I vote van gogh's self portrait sans ear.
j/k, what was maddy's thoughts about all this, having to model for (what looked like) quite a while for her parents?
Builds character!
Very enjoyable. Also very well done!! I loved it. :)
amazing! lot's of kudos
very beautiful ..... The reproduction and the people . we love you and your passion for photography
I absolutely enjoyed this
Thanks soo much.. o felt soo proud of my self by be already subscribed to your channel... great job
.. beautiful child!
Awesome job!
BOOM!!! Dropped a bomb... Great job!
Well done!!!
The Orphan Girl at the Cemetery by Delacroix is one of my favorites that I would like to see in real life..... GREAT JOB btw!!!
Great attention to detail.
this is insane. You even matched the crease of the head scarf
I hope you guys had a chance to see the movie. It is my all-time favorite film!! Goes to show you that even with this challenge the movie would blow your mind by the end.
Awesome project ~
The great masters subjugated details to larger shapes. Looking for the overall shape of the head you can see how well the drawing takes into account the importance of the line separating the two scarfs. Also the line made up of the white collar brilliantly describes the cylindrical shape of the neck.
