It is a story about the "Girl with the Pearl Earrings" of Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. This painting, called 'Mona Lisa of the North', has the allure and subtlety characteristic of Vermeer's work. However, this work is stands apart from the quiet narrative scenes that we observe from a far in many of Vermeer's paintings. James Earle explains how this work (from "Girl with the Pearl Earrings") might represent the birth of a modern perspective on economics, politics, and love.
