Very interesting, Sergey, thank you very much!
A small addition: maybe you should pay attention to the fact that in the early XVII century Cornelius brought to Holland apparatus, called a camera obscura. It's known that Vermeer, for example, used it. Rembrandt, too, knew this device.
Concerning the masters of still life, I can not say, but one can assume that is the second of their generation (Klas, etc.) also resorted to his aid?
In general, the issue of "technical overpressure" old masters extremely, but I think is interesting.
