Exploring Perspective


Perspective is the technique of visually suggesting a feeling of depth in a flat presentation, by using points or lines that vanish in relationship to pictured objects as the objects recede.

Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto, was a Venetian artist famous for his landscapes of Venice. He was an expert in turning a flat canvas into a 3-d world.
