We routinely rely on art to understand science, but science is also used to better understand art. When David Hockney wrote in his bookSecret Knowledge that he had "rediscovered" secret methods of the great painters, asserting that "from the early 15th century manyWestern artists used optics--by which I mean mirrors and lenses (or a combination of the two)--to create living projections," he sparked adebate that would motivate new lines ofinquiry and research in a multitude of disciplines including art history, optics, image analysis,and more. Charles Falco later claimed he had proven Hockney's findings scientifically. In thelast three "Artful Media" articles, DavidStork presented applications of computer imaging foranalyzing paintings, some of which challenge those claims. In this article, Falcodefends hisoriginal findings.
