CARDONA, CARLOS ALBERTO. LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE COMPARISION EYE-CAMERA OBSCURA. []. , 69, 174, pp.143-171.   28--2021. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v69n174-85044.

The article explores whether there is any solid basis for attributing to Leonardo da Vinci the priority in formulating the simile that leads to conceiving the eye as a camera obscura. Here, a pessimistic position is defended, however, the article highlights some of Leonardo's contributions to the consolidation of the simile.
