Book excerpt: Art historians have long speculated on how Vermeer achieved the uncanny mixture of detached precision, compositional repose, and perspective accuracy that have drawn many to describe his work as "photographic." Indeed, many wonder if Vermeer employed a camera obscura, a primitive form of camera, to enhance his realistic effects? In Vermeer's Camera, Philip Steadman traces the development of the camera obscura--first described by Leonaro da Vinci--weighs the arguments that scholars have made for and against Vermeer's use of the camera, and offers a fascinating examination of the paintings themselves and what they alone can tell us of Vermeer's technique. Vermeer left no record of his method and indeed we know almost nothing of the man nor of how he worked. But by a close and illuminating study of the paintings Steadman concludes that Vermeer did use the camera obscura and shows how the inherent defects in this primitive device enabled Vermeer to achieve some remarkable effects--the slight blurring of image, the absence of sharp lines, the peculiar illusion not of closeness but of distance in the domestic scenes. Steadman argues that the use of the camera also explains some previously unexplainable qualities of Vermeer's art, such as the absence of conventional drawing, the pattern of underpainting in areas of pure tone, the pervasive feeling of reticence that suffuses his canvases, and the almost magical sense that Vermeer is painting not objects but light itself. Drawing on a wealth of Vermeer research and displaying an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtleties of the work itself, Philip Steadman offers in Vermeer's Camera a fresh perspective on some of the most enchanting paintings ever created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Photographic Optics and Colour Photography: Including the Camera, Kinematograph, Optical Lantern, and the Theory and Practice of Image Formation The object Of 'this work is partly in fulfilment of a pledge made over three years ago to a large number of Opticians, that a Work should be written on optical instruments to cover the ground of the Spectacle Makers' Company's Examination on that subject; but it is written in the hope that it will have a wider scope and play a much more useful part than merely-to furnish material for examinees to read up. It has long been the complaint of workers in various departments Of science that no work exists dealing with the theory, construction, and practical Working 'of the various classes of optical instruments. Numberless text-books on optics exist, but almost without exception they dismiss the subject of Optical instruments in a few pages, as if they were of no importance at all. It is unfortunately the case, at least in England, that optics is either taught solely as an exercise in mathematics on the undulatory theory of light, or else so superficially as to be of little help to the student in other branches of science. In no work is it treated as a means to an end. So numerous have been the requests for a work of the kind referred to, that the author has made an attempt to meet it, and the series of text-books proposed is the result. It has been a far more arduous task than was anticipated, since in endeavouring to explain the various phenomena inseparably connected with the instruments, it was imperative to do so with the absolute minimum of mathematics, otherwise it would fail to meet the requirements of the very men for whom it was written. In embracing so large a subject the difiiculty has been not so much to decide what to put in, as what to leave out. At the same time, it was found absolutely necessary to deal at some length with achromatism; with Fresnel's theories of wave motion, interference, and polarization; with the theory of lens systems and equivalent planes enunciated by Gauss; and lastly with the theories of diffraction as applied to the microscope by Abbe (and others) - since these form the four pillars on which the whole superstructure of practical optics rests.

Download or read book Light Science written by Thomas D. Rossing and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for students in the visual arts and for others with an interest in art, but with no prior knowledge of physics, this book presents the science behind what and how we see. The approach emphasises phenomena rather than mathematical theories and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivations. The text includes numerous problems, and suggestions for simple experiments, and also considers such questions as why the sky is blue, how mirrors and prisms affect the colour of light, how compact disks work, and what visual illusions can tell us about the nature of perception. It goes on to discuss such topics as the optics of the eye and camera, the different sources of light, photography and holography, colour in printing and painting, as well as computer imaging and processing.
