OCR: Leonardo considered that light emanating from a single point, such as the sun, radiates in straight lines in all directions; this network of lines forms "pyramids" at the points of convergence. The bases of these pyramids of transmitted light rest on the illuminated object, while the pyramids' apexes radiate in all directions.
