Filippo Brunelleschi was one of the pioneers of the early Italian Renaissance and is regarded as one of the most brilliant architects and engineers in Western art history. One of his greatest achievements was the design and complete construction of the Duomo (dome) of Florence's Cathedral. In addition, the development of a mathematical way to create an accurately depicted three-dimensional space on a flat, two-dimensional plane, such as on wood panel, paper, or canvas, is codified by Filippo Brunelleschi in the 15th century–we know it as linear perspective. Take a look at the YouTube videos below. What have you learned? What have you found to be interesting? What purpose does linear perspective serve for art, artists and/or the viewer?
