Yes, it is, compared to US (not necessarily me :-)), but contemporaries of
Rembrandt were developing "mezotint" several generations before.
And almost nobody knows that it was in response to the camera, and the
then-new science of optics and color, that Seurat, Monet and the other
Impressionists developed what, IMHO, was one of the most charming eras and
techniques of painting!
Not that History is any predictor of the Future (unless you forget it!), but
much of their study of color was incorporated into early color photography.
Dithering, schmithering; it worked, and it was useful. Wasn't it Newton who
said, "I have stood on the shoulders of giants" ?
