"Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc." by Andrea Pozzo is an instructional writing from the 1700s, a detailed manual designed for painters and architects aiming to master the representation of three-dimensional spaces in two-dimensional art. Beginning with the significance of perspective in art and architecture, the manual outlines the core ideas of perspective drawing, such as the viewer's point, sight lines, and the principles that dictate how objects are shown from a set viewpoint. It stresses how difficult perspective is to learn and promises to clear up confusion while improving skills by blending clear technical instructions with real-world advice, preparing the reader for a thorough look into perspective techniques.
