Perspective

A Collection of Images of Perspectival Systems: One and Two Point Perspective, Atmospheric, and Multiple

Show More Show Less

In the foreground, a group of several figures, dressed in graeco-roman clothing, surround a man lying in bed. The setting has classical architectural components such as columns and pediments and a large stone sundial in the upper left corner. The figures are painted in bright colors (blue, white, gold and red) but the rest of the composition is painted in muted colors (gray, brown, dark green). Most figures are gazing up at the sundial.

A page from a manuscript depicting a woman, kneeling to be crowned, while a standing man blesses her. She is surrounded by a court of angels in an architectural setting in the clouds.

A large gathering of figures looks toward a young male figure gesticulating to the crowd on the right with his back to the viewer. Two imposing older male figures are positioned to the left of the young man. The architectural cityscape recedes perspectivally in the distance. A large domed building looms over the horizon line.

This engraving depicts a comfortable domestic interior. An old bearded man sits poring over a book at table in the back of the room. A lion and dog rest on the floor in the foreground. Various other objects appear around the room, including a skull, books, slippers, a crucifix, and a pair of scissors.
