Thanks for stopping by. You're ...Hello Egmont,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. You're right, Tess is a great example - visually very beautiful. I had forgotten about it.<br /><br />So far I haven't counted The Pearl and other films based on the life of an artist because the subject matter makes the influence seem inescapable. In the same way, I'm on the fence about including Moulin Rouge. It isn't about Lautrec, but he appears in the film - albeit in a fictional way.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment - come back again!Katherine Keanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466330357052340620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11297940.post-14809495661757817512010-03-10T19:20:46.008-08:002010-03-10T19:20:46.008-08:00Greetings Katherine,

I have always looked towards classical paintings to learn about lighting my table top sets when I was a commercial photographer.<br /><br />Besides Barry Lyndon, a film in which one scene was lite by a single candle requiring a special lens from NASA, the is Polanski's Tess, another film relying on paintings.<br /><br />I would also add another film, The Pearl about Vermeer, that made use of many scenes to look like individual Flemish paintings. Sadly the film lacked script and acting, but was a visual treasure.<br /><br /> There are of course many more we can both name, but the first two have had an influence on many more films that followed.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful day,<br />EgmontFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.com
