It has been said that it was only after the invention of photography that Vermeer’s mastery could be truly appreciated – that only after the “ubiquitousness of photography” accustomed our eyes to seeing the world differently could people see the beauty of Vermeer’s pictures. Today, our eyes are more “photographic,” attuned to the characteristic look of photographs, in which the focus varies in different planes, contours and softened, highlight glimmer. According to this interpretation, the experience of viewing vermeer’s pictures in the pre-photographic age would have been like that of viewing motion pictures for the first time: unsettling, strange, even perhaps (as for the audience said to have fled from the 1895 film on an oncoming locomotive) a bit frightening. ~ Page 285
