The Madness of Vermeer. Renowned for painting calm and beautiful interiors, the real life of Johannes Vermeer was marred by crime and violence. He yearned to escape his family's privations, yet even a glamorous marriage and artistic success failed to save him from the fate he dreaded more than any other. Graham-Dixon visits
Vermeer's home town of Delft, and a dramatic Dutch landscape of huge skies and windmills, in a bid to uncover the clandestine life of a genius.
Director Roger Parsons ; Executive producer Basil Comely Secret Lives of the Artists: Caravaggio is on Tuesday at 11.20pm
