- Nigel Konstam demonstrates the method used by Brunelleschi to fix the laws of perspective in 1425. Using mirrors and the biographical records of Brunelleschi's contemporary Manetti Konstam demonstrates his preferred hypothesis.
EXcellent explanation of Brunelleschi's approach. Thanks for posting.
Glorious! Elegant in it's simplicity, both design and argument.
Thanks, man. The only correct explanation of Antonio Manettis description. Nobody in youtube age seems to have made that experiment of yours.
Samuel Y. Edgerton also explains this issue. Randal J. Bishop
Fascinating and compelling argument - thank you!
Brilliant!
Gracias!
The man in red is Giotto.
A compelling argument
Watch Maths of perspective in art by Gretchen. She explains it correctly.
Samuel Y. Edgerton, the author of "The Renaissance Rediscovery of Linear Perspective of Linear Perspective" put him self in the same place to make a recreation, which is now lost. If you want to pitch yours, give them to me. Did you read Sam's book? Randal J. Bishop
El sujeto del min 0:34 y 5:03 no es Manetti, es un retrato de Giotto, atribuido a Paolo Uccello.
Agreed!
It's plausible that Brunelleschi used a mirror. However, isn't there a problem with the idea that he worked directly on a mirror - namely, that he would have seen his own reflection, rather than the reflection of the Baptistry? (Perhaps he could have angled the mirror in some way, but it seems awkward.)
Interested if anyone can help me with this - I have very little knowledge of painting, so I could easily be missing something.
Barnaby, have you watched the video at all? Mr Konstam says (and shows) that B. also used a second mirror, a smaller one, and that it is very easy to get round the problem of your own image being visible. He even show how!
You tell him! Those academics.....
A quibble, but an important one: perspective drawings are "natural" looking, but not accurate. The railroad tracks do not meet at the horizon. Renaissance humanism have preference to the world as known through the senses, but other cultures have sometimes preferred representing the world as we know it to be, not as distortedby our senses.
