“…His work was published around AD 1021 in Kitab al-Manazir, which is famously known as Book of Optics [4]. His unprecedented scientific methods have led to the first explanation of the formation of images using the camera obscura [5], [6] or pinhole image, which was observed for many centuries before [7].…”

“…Atribuir ao sentido da visão uma fonte digna de conhecimento teria sido parte de uma mudança antropológica, algo que segundo Belting já se tornava visível com o crescente naturalismo da arte europeia nos séculos antecessores à invenção da perspectiva linear (Ibidem, p.150). Tal história intelectual sobre a recepção de Alhazen já era descrita no artigo do historiador da ciência americano David C. Lindberg (1967), "Alhazen's theory of vision and its reception in the west" (A teoria da visão de Alhazen e sua recepção no oeste), desde então considerado uma referência na história da ótica (TOSSATO, 2005). Segundo Lindberg, o livro "Perspectiva" de Vitélio, que seria um compêndio sobre ótica reunindo as ideias desde Euclides e Ptolomeu até Al-Kind, Alhazen e Bacon, tinha o status de livro oficial para o ensino da ótica nas Universidades europeias do século XIV e XV (LINDBERG, 1976, p. 118).…”

O artigo traz um questionamento sobre a narrativa mais difundida, sobre o desenvolvimento do método representacional chamado perspectiva linear. Contrapõe-se a leitura de Erwin Panofsky com as teses de Hans Belting e George Saliba, para quem a influência da ciência árabe teria sido fundamental para o Renascimento italiano. Belting busca comprovar que princípios matemáticos de uma cultura, no caso a particularidade da ótica árabe, podem ser reinterpretados em outra cultura de forma a gerar algo inédito para ambas, exemplificando pela matematização do espaço e dos raios de luz implícita na perspectiva linear. O artigo defende a importância de combinar estudos de História e Teoria da Arte com a História da Ciência.

“…Among these three scientists, Kepler contributed the most in constructing a new theory for light. Kepler, for the first time ever, managed to provide a theory which included intromission theory of vision and geometrical optics that was started by Alhazen (27). Willebrord Snell (1580/1591-1626) also solved the old problem of the refraction of light as it passes through two different media (28).…”

We present in this paper a chronological study on the main line of the electromagnetic radiation throughout the history of mankind. This history is divided into three distinct eras: pre-classical, classical, and modern era. In pre-classical era, myths are studied starting with Hyperion (god of lightning), extramission theory, and Euclid principles. While in the classical era, the main focus is on classical theories of physics through introducing the Maxwell equations and Huygens and Newton's theories on light. In addition, aspects of light via particle and wave theories are reviewed. Special relativity, photoelectric effect and radiation in quantum mechanics are the studied topics in the modern era. We present the advancement in photonic science from the last century till present time and show its influences on fields such as laser, quantum field theory, holographs, LED, and entanglement.
