Why didn artists notice the defects, like lines that didn quite match up when they moved their lenses, and correct them?
It is quite possible that most times the artists did notice the defects and corrected them (see my above discussion about Leonardo da Vinci). However, many of the defects we have found, although quite measurable, are small, and thus very easy to overlook. Plus, as we have pointed out, one of the most valuable uses of a lens is as an aid to help replicate intricate details on individual elements within a painting (complex patterns on rugs, jewelry, embroidered clothing, a chandelier, armor, etc.). When working with projected images of such elements within the body of a larger painting, the artist naturally would be pulled closer to the canvas than otherwise might be the case, thus making it easier not to notice such mistakes. Also, as many examples of trompe-l’oeil paintings show, it is possible to intentionally deceive the viewer quite convincingly. Therefore, it should not be surprising that a few artists might have accidentally deceived themselves by not noticing defects in their own
