When and where was perspective first used in drawing objects?

What will be an ideal response?


Perspective as a realistic way to describe what we see has its roots in the Renaissance. Before this time, medieval artists typically sized objects and characters according to their importance, not relative distances.Around 1300, the artist Giotto used an algebraic method to determine the placement of distant lines in his paintings. His method was generally accepted until the twentieth century. In the early 1400s, Filippo Brunelleschi demonstrated the geometrical method of perspective by painting the outlines of various Florentine buildings onto a mirror. Extending the building's outlines beyond the edges of the mirror, he noticed that all of the lines converged on the horizon line.
