\nInvited paper describing a high resolution infrared camera I developed and applied to the study of several works of art, including Lorenzo Lotto’s ‘Family Portrait.’ As Fig. 7 shows, the infrared reflectogram confirms the central octagonal pattern of this painting is based on a projection that was refocused twice due to exceeding the depth-of-field of the lens or concave mirror. This, and other details of this painting revealed in the infrared (to be published elsewhere), confirms our previous analysis of how optical projections were used in the creation of significant features within this work.<\/p>\n
