Description

Linear Perspective for the use of schools of art.by R. Burchett

Originally published in 1856 under the title Practical Perspective, the book is a comprehensive manual for learning how to draw complex isographic & perspective pictures. Linear perspective is a mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. The system originated in Florence, Italy in the early 1400s. The artist and architect Brunelleschi demonstrated its principles, but another architect and writer, Leon Battista Alberti was first to write down rules of linear perspective for artists to follow. Leonardo da Vinci probably learned Alberti’s system while serving as an apprentice to the artist Verrocchio in Florence.
