Masters of Illusion pt. 1

In the Renaissance, linear perspective changed the way many artists perceived and looked at art, it opened up a whole new world for the masters of the Renaissance. This was a new discovery that changed art forever. Vanishing points were the beginning of linear perspective and it led into many mediums of art. Not just paintings but sculptures as well.The Trinity, a work of art introduced to me in my Art History class, was the first piece that ever used true linear perspective. Durer, a German pioneer, wanted to bring these same linear techniques to the human body. His drawing he constructed looked as if it was computer generated. The lines were perfectly spaced and equal.
