Using Science To Reinterpret Art

David Stork “is a physicist, and he’s used modernoptical science and a good bit of computing power to make a virtual, 3-D copy of the world that Vermeer gave us in two dimensions in about 1665. His techniques do for art historians, he says, ‘just what a microscope does for biologists. We can now reveal things in art that we didn’t see before’.”
