Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a German painter, printmaker, mathematician, and theorist.
I think of Albrecht Durer’s projection grid from the 1500s and Johannes Vermeer using a camera obscura in the 1600s.

First there was Dürer with the perspective machines. Then there was Vermeer with the camera obscura. Then when I saw Toy Story, I saw this new medium.
