UNTITLED; by Ian Hoffmeier pencil on paper Foreshortening
During the Renaissance, European artists began to study the model of nature more closely and to paint with the goal of greater realism. They learned to create lifelike people and animals, and they became skilled at creating the illusion of depth and distance on flat walls and canvases by using the techniques of linear perspective. “Marriage of the Virgin” Raffael
The Italian artists were careful to keep the knowledge about the newly discovered perspective as a big secret. Albrecht Dürer (1506), friend of Raffael, wrote from Venice to Willibald Pirckheimer in Nuremberg ... I ride to Bologna for the sake of a secret perspective in the arts that someone is willing to teach me. ... Afterwards I will come with the next messenger. Albrect Duer
The invention of linear perspective is generally attributed to the Florentine architect Filippo Brunelleschi 1377 - 1446 Drawing Photo
Filippo Brunelleschi Brunelleschi appears to have made the discovery in about 1413. He understood that there should be a single vanishing point to which all parallel lines in a plane, other than the plane of the canvas, converge.
Leonardo da Vinci trained as a painter during the Renaissance and became a true master of the craft. His amazing powers of observation and skill as an illustrator enabled him to notice and recreate the effects he saw in nature, and added a special liveliness to his portraits. Curious as well as observant, he constantly tried to explain what he saw, and devised many experiments to test his ideas. Because he wrote down and sketched so many of his observations in his notebooks, we know that he was among the very first to take a scientific approach towards understanding how our world works and how we see it.
