The Optics Lesson of Dr Turner is a painting by Alan Parker which featured in the BP Portrait Award exhibition of 2004. Painted on a translucent surface, it depicts a scientist whose considerable fame is based on his contribution to the mathematics of reflection and refraction. Some indication of this in the words reversed on the painting. Figure on the left is my wife (on the far side of the paining). Figure on the right is me, taking the photo with the camera cradled in my hand.
