Vermeer was a master of colouristic effects, but like most 17th-century Dutch painters he worked with a surprisingly limited palette. In these four paintings Vermeer used ultramarine – by far the most expensive pigment available to artists – to the exclusion of all other blue pigments.

When you think 'World War II movie about famous artwork and Nazis,' you may think of the thoroughly mediocre “The Monuments Men.' Fortunately, 'The Last Vermeer' is a new addition to the genre.
This thought-provoking story of a mediocre Dutch artist who somehow successfully imitated one of the most famous artists of all time is stranger than fiction, but based on a true story.
“The Last Vermeer” stars Guy Pearce as Dutch painter Han van Meegeren, who was arrested for treason following the war because investigators believed he sold pieces of art — specifically one by Johannes Vermeer — to top Nazi officer Hermann Goering. This is merely the beginning of the wild and complicated story of the artist turned folk hero.
© TriStar Pictures Guy Pearce is Han van Meegeren in 'The Last Vermeer.'The screenplay, written by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (“Children of Men” and “Iron Man”) with John Orloff (“Band of Brothers”) under the pen name James McGee, is based on the nonfiction book 'The Man Who Made Vermeers' by Jonathan Lopez.

Inside the story of one of the most prolific art forgers of all time
The film begins in 1945 after the war with a painting that leads investigators to van Meegeren: a Vermeer from the dismantled collection of Hermann Goering. Vermeer, the 17th century Dutch Baroque painter, only has about 30 works attributed to him in collections around the world, but this specific painting was discovered in the 20th century and attributed to the old master.
Dutch Resistance officer Joseph Piller (Claes Bang) leads the investigation into van Meegeren’s dealing with the Nazis, which is personal for him as a Jewish tailor who was forced to go underground during the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II.

As Piller investigates how van Meegeren profited from selling art to Nazis, he realizes the true story of the flamboyant painter is more complicated. Van Meegeren reveals to Piller the “new” Vermeer paintings are forgeries that he made and sold merely to exploit the Nazis for their vast riches.

While this is film is about the story of van Meegeren, there is a deep dive into Piller’s life, showing how he started to lose grip on his own marriage after the war. As he became the artists’ defender when he realized the Vermeer that Goering held dear was indeed a 20th century forgery, his outlook shifts.
Piller is tasked with proving that van Meegeren is merely an opportunist and not a Nazi sympathizer — a tall task in the years after the country, reeling from years of occupation, was looking to turn over a new leaf and purge itself of the past.

Pearce and Bang are perfectly juxtaposed in their cat-and-mouse-game of art crime with Bang's handsome, dark-haired, towering Piller versus Pearce’s wily, frizzy gray-haired bon vivant van Meegeren. The screenplay, unfortunately, strains their relationship at times with dialogue that is a little too on-the-nose, explaining to the viewer exactly what the subtext is in major moments when it isn’t needed.
Pearce is captivating as van Meegeren, with his permanently surprised eyebrows that resemble Dalí’s mustache and his freewheeling life that included a fair amount of sex and drugs. It was interesting to see some backstory of Piller, but van Meegeren is the far more interesting character. Not to mention Pearce’s performance was so fun to watch, it is hard not to want more of him in the film.
After he was exposed as an elaborate fraud, van Meegeren became a folk hero to the Dutch, seen as an artist who swindled vast sums from some of the evilest individuals on the planet. As the ending of this film reveals, it wasn’t that straightforward. Research, like that in the book source material for this film, has revealed new information about the artist that may make him look like less of a hero.

He may have sympathized more with the Nazis than was originally believed, making 'The Last Vermeer' not just an enjoyable story to watch but an educational look into hidden history that seeks to show its never a good idea to paint anyone with a broad brush.
