Unexpected Views: Hélène Binet on Vermeer's 'Young Woman Standing at a Virginal' | National Gallery

Photographer Hélène Binet talks through how she takes inspiration from the use of light and perspective in Johannes Vermeer's 'A Young Woman standing at a Virginal', as part of our Unexpected Views series.

Due to the lighting in Room 16, there is some strobing throughout the video.

Unexpected Views are monthly conversations between our curators and some of the most important cultural practitioners of today. This talk is hosted by curator Daniel Herrmann. Find out more: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/ev...
