The video Masters of Illusion uses state-of-the-art computer graphics to demonstrate how scientific linear perspective was used by Renaissance artists to create the illusion of three-dimensional space. Italian artist Giotto, was believed to be the first to achieve true linear perspective. A famous example of linear perspective is “The Trinity”, which shows true perspective. This technique appeared in sculptures, paintings and drawings and is now used in all kinds of art.
I think the power of optical illusion is fascinating; it’s amazing how the simple placement of lines can impact the way we view things. Without the discovery of linear perspective and many other great artistic techniques, the world would not have all the famous, incredible art that we enjoy today.
