Abstract

The claims of David Hockney’s Secret Knowledge, buttressed by Charles Falco’s optical measurements, were recently debated at a conference at Ghent University. The consensus was that for technical and historical reasons, painterly reliance on optical tools is plausible from the late 16th century onwards, but less likely for the 15th.
