I agree on the ‘possible’, but to my knowledge this was more likely to be a precursor of to photography in the 19th century.

Rather than the camera obscura, it is very possible that a majority of artists used a camera lucida, while they were available. The artist would seen images right-side up, and could be used in full light rather than dim light.

Well, Jan, you might agree with me that you need really good eyes to see more than profiles and the darn thing also produces upside down images like any other camera ...

They all tinkered with various cameras including the camera obscura. I have one kicking around someplace in my studio, so in the cleaning now going on, I will look for it. The camera obscura showed the entire scene, not just the outlines. Look it up in google.

Just want to second Randy.  I've been always in awe about how artists could come up with such masterpieces before the discovery of electricity and the invention of photography.  Vermeer tinkered with the camera obscura in the 15th century in his "studio", but that just helped with the outlines and not the subtleties of the light.  And how about those ever changing light conditions when trying to finish a painting outdoors? ...

If we can provide more creative and intuitive access to younger and coming generations - it's all good.  And some of these animations are just plain cool.

This was neat.  It's not that the originals aren't enough.  It's someone's internal representation of what they see playing out in them.  This is a common class discussion and teaching technique. "Make the viewer feel the motion."  It might be away to introduce the younger pre teen or tween generations to art they still in their youth find boooorrriiinnggggg.
