Als Gregor Weber als kleiner Junge zum ersten Mal ein Gemälde des niederländischen Barock-Malers Johannes Vermeer sieht, lässt ihn der Anblick die Besinnung verlieren. Ein Moment, der sein ganzes Leben bestimmte. Heute zählt Gregor Weber zu den bedeutendsten Vermeer-Experten und Kunsthistorikern der Welt. Im 17. Jahrhundert schuf Vermeer ganze Universen in einer schmalen Raumecke, seine Meisterschaft stellt die Kunstgeschichte bis heute vor ungelöste Rätsel. Perspektive, Komposition, der farbige Schatten: Vermeer ist bekannt für die Magie des konturlosen Zeichnens. Er schuf das „Mädchen mit dem Perlenohrring“ oder die „Straße in Delft“. Kurz vor seiner Pensionierung steht Gregor Weber vor seiner wichtigsten Aufgabe: die größte Vermeer-Ausstellung aller Zeiten soll er für das renommierte Amsterdamer Rijksmuseum kuratieren. Doch Vermeers Gemälde sind heute über den gesamten Globus verstreut.
