Linear perspective was revolutionary because it created an illusion of space from a single, fixed viewpoint (which fed nicely into the renewed focus on the individual that formed a key part of Renaissance thinking).Click to see full answer. Correspondingly, what is the purpose of linear perspective?Linear perspective, a system of creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface. All parallel lines (orthogonals) in a painting or drawing using this system converge in a single vanishing point on the composition’s horizon line.One may also ask, how did Brunelleschi discovered linear perspective? Brunelleschi applied a single vanishing point to a canvas, and discovered a method for calculating depth. In a famous noted experiment, Brunelleschi used mirrors to sketch the Florence baptistry in perfect perspective. The first known painting to show true linear perspective is Masaccio’s “The Holy Trinity”. Secondly, how was linear perspective invented? The first known picture to make use of linear perspective was created by the Florentine architect Fillipo Brunelleshi (1377-1446). The linear perspective system projected the illusion of depth onto a two dimensional plane by use of ‘vanishing points’ to which all lines converged, at eye level, on the horizon.How did art change following the invention of linear perspective?Space is an important concept of art in that it creates a more three-dimensional image by distancing what’s around it to create a background, middle ground, and foreground. Linear perspective changed at by using lines in a way such that the back of the canvas looks further away than the front and vice-versa.
