Very interesting article in Scientific American December 2004 issue on jan van Eyck's painting of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife.
The issue was how the painting was created - it was of the first 'lifelike' paintings at the beginning of the Renaissance. It was thought that the painting was done using a primative camera obscura. The article in the magzine discusses this theory.
Fascinating stuff. Really.
