ART QUESTION #2527

What principles form the foundation for the Renaissance art of perspective?

Mathematical principles

Explanation

The art of perspective was invented in the early 1400s in Northern Italy as a new way to depict space based on a single point of view. It allowed artists to depict three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, thus creating depth in a painting, based on mathematical principles. The rules of linear perspective were discovered and recorded by the architect Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), and revolutionized art and architecture.
