RENAISSANCE, linear, or so-called one-point perspective is a geometrical construction method devised about 1415 by Italian Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi [1377-1446] and documented in Della Pittura by architect Leon Battista Alberti [1404-1472] in 1435.
The discovery of this form of linear perspective was an epochal moment in the Western artistic and scientific tradition(s). In subsequent times up to the present day, Renaissance perspective has been a key component of modern visual theory, spatial observation/representation methods, and related instruments/systems; thus, it has been a driver of fundamental progress across diverse subject areas.
One-point perspective is an artificial and graphical perspective created on a 2-D plane that employs a central (or single) viewpoint for the depicted scene, with one primary (or central) vanishing point in the distance (for object space orthogonal lines) which is placed on the horizon line, and from which everything is set out (or converges).
