“See for yourself!” was the clarion contact from the 1600’s. Natural philosophers threw from the yoke of historic expert, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the Scientific Trend. Artists investigated nature with lens and produced paintings filled up with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch town of Delft. Here Johannes Vermeer’s tests with lenses and a camera obscura trained him how we find under different circumstances of light and helped him develop the most luminous artwork ever beheld. Meanwhile, his neighbor Antoni van Leeuwenhoek’s work with microscopes uncovered a previously unimagined realm of minuscule creatures. The outcomes was a change in both artwork and science the revolutionized how we see the globe today.
