• Definition of perspective
• Empirical linear perspective: Duccio

Definition of PERSPECTIVE:PERSPECTIVE:
Any systematic technique that creates an illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface.
Techniques could include the use of:
- receding lines (as in linear perspective)
- changes in color
- changes in clarity
