Before chemical photography, artists used a "camera obscura" to project images. What does this Latin term mean?
Tap your pick
"Camera obscura" translates directly to "dark chamber." It refers to a darkened room or box with a small hole on one side, which projects an inverted image of the outside scene onto a screen opposite the hole. Renaissance masters like Vermeer are highly suspected of using this device to achieve near-perfect perspective and light in their paintings. Photo: Pitchayawat, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.
