Jeff,

A vital point you have made. If Ingres had drawn this beautiful self portrait using a camera lucida, it would have been a painting of a guy looking through a camera lucida, not a man gazing into a mirror.

I've wondered how Hockney explains self portraits, and sculpture! Did Bernini and other incredible sculptors project the optical image onto the marble and chip away while looking through a lens?

Or did they just know what they were doing?

Kirk
