It appears that artists ranging from Italian Caravaggio to Dutch virtuoso Jan Vermeer, actually traced their subjects onto the canvas using optical devices made of lenses and mirrors. This could solve some of the mysteries of painting from the 15th century onwards as well as explain the explosion in photographic detail that painting experienced around this time."@en
