The artist David Hockney wrote a book about artists (specifically Vermeer) using the camera obscura. He demonstrated that the human eye doesn’t see things the same way a lens, or a device like the camera obscura does, so if certain artifacts appear in a work, it’s a pretty clear indication that the human eye wasn’t the only thing used to record the scene. He also pointed out that Vermeer was a friend of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was famous for his discoveries with the microscope, but was also a lens crafter - a good person to know if you might be interested in getting better detail and focus from a camera obscura.

One of the loveliest paintings ever! Forgive me, therefore:
