Not photography, granted, but we share with Vermeer a deep interest in depicting light and how it plays with our subjects. IMHO well worth a look:

Potentially more related to photography than not, as it has been suspected that Vermeer used a camera obscura.

Did Vermeer pioneer this technique to produce his 17th century interiors? Philip Steadman investigates.
