Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an aesthetically informed study of the development of Western perspective drawing. It describes and illustrates the history of perspective from its origins up to the Renaissance. Within its historical discussion, the author shows that a quantitative methodology, absent from Greek geometry yet central to contemporary visual aesthetics, first developed during the Renaissance. Such a metric approach to the representation of visual space eventually came to dominate our pictorial culture. This book traces that development, arguing that the resulting new vantage point was central to changes in other aesthetic realms, including the emergence of pictorial naturalism.
