HOW DID VERMEER CREATE HIS PAINTINGS? NOW WE KNOW. Prof. Steadman *University College London) created quite the stir when he proved beyond reasonable doubt that Dutch masters used a Camera Obscura as additional technology to create these photographic-like paintings. Quite a stir because historians/art-connoisseurs refuse to believe artists and inventors/scientist can be the same person. This American inventor and visual-media entrepreneur finds an additional tool that helped Vermeer differentiate himself from the rest: life-like, colors, exactly matching reality, an incredible level of detail and an almost photographic representation. Well, thats exactly what it was using a camera obscura + a mirror setup. Forgotten by all the art-critics (who feel its a cheat) tons of Dutch research in lenses, prisms, light, color, microscopes and telescopes all happened in that era. For example van Leeuwenhoeks invention of the microscope. How much of a stretch is it then that painters would have used the same, state-of-the-art technology? https://youtube/watch?v=CS_HUWs9c8c
