Title: The Real Lost Vermeer is in the Museum Guard's Bedroom
Author: Mid0nz (Tumblr)
Pairing: None
Length: Short
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: There’s a lovely transition from the poster advertising “The Lost Vermeer” to the museum guard’s empty bedroom. The composition of this scene is an homage to the master painter. Look at the parallels between Vermeer’s “The Astronomer” and the museum guard’s messy room. The guard’s passion is astronomy, remember, and art is just his job.

Reccer's comments: I was impressed by Mid0nz' ability to pick up the cinematographer's intentions here. She has a sharp eye for detail and meta, and she takes the time to put together the visuals to back up her theories.

Thank you so much for this rec! Mid0nz is to Sherlock visual meta what TV Tropes is to the rest of our lives.

Thanks!

I noticed that beautiful shot when watching the show. There are so many rich levels of beauty on Sherlock that it never gets old.
