Every art historian nowadays (except Kazuo Ueno) dismisses Johannes Vermeer's hidden influence on Christiaan Huygens regarded as the most powerful light physics and astronomy researcher in the 17th Century. According to Ueno, unlike Anton van Leeuwenhoek's close relation to Vermeer, the role of light in both science and art in Vermeer's paintings was never recognized by anybody. He believes that Christiaan Huygens' influence was entirely neglected in the context of Vermeer's work even though Huygens is a scientist and so is Vermeer.
