I tried Pine Nut and my top matches were leeks at 91.11% and persimmons at 89.8%. Neither seem to be related taxonomically, culinarily or flavor-wise.

So glad to see someone post this. Tim's Vermeer is one of the most fascinating and moving art documentaries I've ever seen.

Wow!

I had the good fortune of being able to see a Vermeer in person last month; it, more than any other painting I’ve seen, was more impressive to me in person than from a book or photograph. There is a brilliance in the paint used that does not come across in photos.

If you have a chance to see one in person, please go for it!

I am going to Amsterdam specifically for the Vermeer exhibit in May. He was the Dutch master painter.

There's nothing like rounding a corner in a museum and coming face-to-face with a painting you've always loved and weren't expecting.

I had a revelatory hour with the Delaunays in the Pompidou once.

Yes, I am a massive museum nerd.

Yep

Same! I’m going at the end of March while Girl with a Pearl Earring is still up.

I’m still hoping the Met will change their mind and send their better two (Maid Asleep and Woman with a Water Pitcher). I’m immensely grateful I can go see them whenever I want but I’d love to see them alongside their sisters.

Right on, is that the one with Penn Jillette?

Thanks! Is there a way I can get a transcript? Would be great to read this instead of through headphones.

Edit: there are subtitles. Wish it were a bit faster though. :(

Not quite, but I do get moved by seeing great art. It’s really different seeing the real thing. Photos just don’t cut it. Good excuse to travel.

That’s definitely the place, I’m terrible with pronouncing Dutch names so I couldn’t say it. I’m wondering if maybe there was a front entrance that was under repair or something because I entered from an alley and the entrance was below street level, I went down a ramp. And there wasn’t a sign that I noticed.

If you’ve only seen photos of these great works and then completely by surprise you see the real thing up close. It’ll hit you pretty hard.

I had been in Amsterdam days prior and was awed by Van Gough and Rembrandt but I knew they were coming so I wasn’t bowled over like I was in The Hague.

Lol in that case the 'alleyway' they went through was our houses of government 😅

Ill listen to Stephen teach me anything

Mauritshuis probably, room 15 is the room with 'meisje met de parel' - 'girl with the pearl earring'

Read the title as Closer to Jason Voorhees, narrated by Stephen Fry. Had me confused and excited.

Mofo caught the vapors. Paint will do that. /s

You almost passed out from looking at a painting?

Are you a frail 18th century noble woman by any chance?

Oh wow had completely forgotten what a beautiful doc this was. That background score by conrad pope was so beautiful. Still there on one of my older YouTube playlists. Linking it here for anyone interested.
