"See for yourself!" was the clarion call of the 1600s. Natural philosophers threw off the yoke of ancient authority, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the scientific revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses and created paintings filled with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch city of Delft.

I already know quite a lot about the subject so was thrilled to learn so much that I didn’t know before reading.
Just as the subject matter blends humanist and scientific study so is the story told with an ideal mix of historic precision and emotional exploration
The performance is also great.
