The first self-portrait (or selfie, perhaps…) seems to have been taken in 1839 by Robert Cornelius. pic.twitter.com/u4Vs6rKyMN

And in 1840 John William Draper took the first – or, at least, oldest surviving – photograph of the moon. pic.twitter.com/JUdvndMZem

Five years later, in 1845, Louis Fizeau and Leon Foucault managed to photograph the sun. pic.twitter.com/AfVgw4Gs2v

The oldest surviving aerial photograph, it seems, was taken by James Wallace Black in 1860. He called it "Boston, as the Eagle and the Wild Goose See It."
A French photographer called Nadar had already made aerial photos two years prior, but these have not survived. pic.twitter.com/W5VBxmmH1w

In 1847 Thomas Martin Easterly made a daguerreotype of lightning, but that original has been lost and only survives as a copy (left).
And so William Jennings' photo (right) taken on 2nd September 1882, is the oldest known photo of lightning. pic.twitter.com/lmSqQrOnU2

The first photo of the Earth from outer space was taken in 1946 by the V-2 No. 13 Rocket. Other, more famous photos of the Earth would come, but this is where it began. pic.twitter.com/WXJ1yeqd6K

And the first ever digital image was created in 1957 by Russell Kirch. He led the development of a digital scanner and this, a photograph of his son, was the first one they scanned. pic.twitter.com/2857biUaHo

Bosch
Hieronymus Bosch
„De artfiziejls Muziekus“
Tryptichon, Öl auf Pappelholz
Visionäres Spätwerk des Malers, vermutlich 1510-1512 in seiner Werkstatt in ’s-Hertogenbosch entstanden.
Die Hintergrundlandschaft steht vermutlich in Beziehung zu Berichten aus der Neuen Welt über ein 1509 von Niederländern entdecktes „Valles silicio“ im heutigen Kalifornien.
