Reflections on the Relationship between perspective and Geometry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Abstract Paolo Freguglia examines the relationship between perspective and geometry before Guarini, and more precisely, in the 1500s. The representation of space, which in the pre-Classic age was substantially conceptual and sometimes ideographic, was gradually organised so that it became optical representation, and finally arrived at being able to give a sense of three-dimensions. The techniques of perspective were presented not only as practical rules for drawing in a given manner, in conformation with how observed reality appears to the eye, but were also described according to their geometric underpinnings. Thus were introduced new points of departure for considerations on geometry, as made evident by the work of Desargues and Pascal.
