Art

Light and Visual Phenomena is rich in art. You will find many galleries with images of paintings, optical illusions, rainbows and atmospheric effects, laser art, astronomy, and more.

We also have chosen a featured artist for the course: Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842).

One of her self-portraits is at the left. Our website includes a special gallery of 60 of her portraits. This self-portrait was painted around 1781, when the artist was about 26.
