Da Vinci Notes #63 - Project Image in Every Direction

 

Every body in light and shade fills the surrounding air with

infinite images of itself; and these, by infinite pyramids diffused

in the air, represent this body throughout space and on every side.

 

Each pyramid that is composed of a long assemblage of rays includes

within itself an infinite number of pyramids and each has the same

power as all, and all as each. A circle of equidistant pyramids of

vision will give to their object angles of equal size; and an eye at

each point will see the object of the same size. The body of the

atmosphere is full of infinite pyramids composed of radiating

straight lines, which are produced from the surface of the bodies in

light and shade, existing in the air; and the farther they are from

the object which produces them the more acute they become and

although in their distribution they intersect and cross they never

mingle together, but pass through all the surrounding air,

independently converging, spreading, and diffused.

 

And they are all of equal power [and value]; all equal to each, and

each equal to all. By these the images of objects are transmitted

through all space and in every direction, and each pyramid, in itself,

includes, in each minutest part, the whole form of the body causing it.

 

 

Keith's Idea:

To produce the "right" image, one needs to do it in every direction.
