After Brunelleschi & Alberti’s studies, almost every artist in Florence and Italy tried to represent three-dimensional objects using the geometric perspective in their paintings. From Donatello, Masolino & Uccello to Perugino & the great masters of the High Renaissance, #fc3art
Leonardo, Raphael and also Piero della Francesca, who wrote about this artistic technique (De Prospectiva Pingendi) in his Della Pittura in 1470.
If Alberti’s studies limited to provide a general basis for perspective, Della Francesca covered solids in any area of the image surface and used many illustrated figures to explain the mathematical concepts.
The development of perspective by Renaissance artists led in the later centuries to the development of algebraic and analytic geometry, relativity and quantum mechanics.
