More about the book
The book explores the evolution of three-dimensional perspective in art, starting from its absence in prehistoric times, through its initial development by the Greeks and Romans, to its revival during the Renaissance. It delves into the significance of the right cerebral hemisphere in appreciating aesthetics and three-dimensional art, linking this to broader human traits such as expressiveness, metaphor usage, and a connection to nature. Additionally, it highlights the influence of perspective on landscape painting and its role in the emergence of the scientific age.
