Perspective is an art technique for creating an illusion of three-dimensions (depth and space) on a two-dimensional (flat) surface. Perspective is one technique to make an artwork seem to have form, distance, and look "real." The same rules of perspective apply to all subjects, whether it's a landscape, seascape, still life, interior scene, portrait, or figure painting.
Short history- Eurocentric...Perspective in Western art is often called linear perspective and was developed in the early 15th century. The system uses straight lines to plot or figure out where things must go. The Renaissance artist Leon Battista Alberti and architect Filippo Brunelleschi are credited with the "invention" of linear perspective. Greeks and Romans had used some of these techniques but the information was "lost." Alberti set out his theory in his book "On Painting," published in 1435. Artists are still using Alberti's one-vanishing-point system today.
