How Caravaggio Invented Hollywood Lighting
"As David Hockney has put it: 'He invented a black world that had not existed before, certainly not in Florence or Rome. Caravaggio invented Hollywood lighting.' And that resemblance may be no accident." It seems that Caravaggio may have used a form of camera obscura to project images onto his canvases, where he traced them. The Telegraph (UK) 07/13/10
