Perspective

You already know the most important thing about perspective: objects closer to us look bigger than those farther away. This is a trick of the eye. The trick of perspective is transferring this phenomenon to paper. It’s not all that difficult, but it took a great while before European art got the hang of it. While artists in classical antiquity were already familiar with the laws of perspective, the fall of Rome and the ancient world led to the loss of knowledge about the laws of spatial representation. Perspective was a mystery to people for nearly one thousand years. Medieval portrayals used rather peculiar solutions: vanishing points lead in all possible directions and figures—although far away—are sometimes smaller, sometimes larger. The problem was not solved until the Renaissance, with the rediscovery of ancient principles and the associated renewal of architecture.
