It may be that in the course of studying Renaissance literature you come across a reference to a camera, and you might even see it in connection to a picture. This was the camera obscura, which translates into English as "dark chamber" and is, in a weird sort of way, an ancestor of the 19th and 20th century cameras. It was a darkened chamber, usually a box, but possibly a room, with a pinhole or lens allowing light in. An observer could see an image made by this light. Such equipment was used by Roger Bacon to observe a solar eclipse in the 13th century, and by Leonardo da Vinci in his studies. It is possible that artists of the Middle Ages used them in the study of linear perspective, but we do not know that they did for a fact.
