Johannes Vermeer of Delft [1632-1675] was one of the greatest Masters of the Dutch Golden Age who was intensely preoccupied with the behavior of light and other optical effects and was entitled "The Master of Light". He fastidiously attended to the subtleties of visual expression through geometry, composition, and precise mastery of the rules of perspective. It has been our impression that some visual similarity does exist between neuroendoscopic images and some of Vermeer's paintings. Such a relation could be explained by the fact that optical devices are utilized in producing both types of display.
We reviewed the pertinent medical and art literature, observed some video clips of our endoscopy cases, and inspected digital high resolution images of Vermeer's paintings in order to elaborate on shared optical phenomena between neuroendoscopic views and Vermeer's paintings.
Specific optical phenomena are indeed shared by Johannes Vermeer's works and neuroendoscopic vision, namely light and color effects as well as the rules of perspective.
From the physical point of view, the possibility that a camera obscura inspired Vermeer's artistic creation makes the existence of a visual link between his paintings and the endoscopic views of the intracranial cavity comprehensible.
代尔夫特的约翰内斯·维米尔(1632 - 1675)是荷兰黄金时代最伟大的大师之一,他对光的行为和其他光学效果极为关注,被誉为“光的大师”。他通过几何学、构图以及对透视规则的精确掌握,一丝不苟地关注视觉表达的细微之处。我们的印象是,神经内镜图像与维米尔的一些画作之间确实存在某种视觉上的相似性。这种关系可以用在制作这两种展示时都使用了光学设备这一事实来解释。
我们查阅了相关的医学和艺术文献,观看了一些我们内镜病例的视频片段,并查看了维米尔画作的数字高分辨率图像,以便详细阐述神经内镜视野与维米尔画作之间共有的光学现象。
约翰内斯·维米尔的作品与神经内镜视野确实共享特定的光学现象,即光和色彩效果以及透视规则。
从物理学角度来看,暗箱激发了维米尔的艺术创作这一可能性使得他的画作与颅内腔内镜视野之间存在视觉联系变得可以理解。
