Here I Stand: Perspectives from Another Point of View

Book Overview

This study of perspective in Western painting explores the manner in which pictorial space embodies both social and ethical meaning. The author argues that Renaissance painters developed perspective not only as a technical matter, but also to declare a stand in relation to church and state.
