The camara obscura was discovered by the chinese and the greeks in ancient times. Optics evolved mainly between the XIII to the XVIII century. Also during the XVIII century it was discovered that certain chemics were sensitive to light exposure.
arround 1816 Joseph-Nicephore Niepce begun his intempts first to achive a printed image by chemical means, and then to make such pictures last. The first extant photography shows the view of a window, taken by Nipce c.1826.
James Clark Maxwell begun experimenting with colour photography arround 1855, obtaining the first colour photography (a tartan fabric ribbon, mainly red and blue) whose colours remained during 1861.
Before this, photography was already taken as an art by many.
