Le dve regole della prospettiva pratica

Vignola, 1507-1573 · 1583 · In Roma, Per Francesco Zannetti · 36 pictures

Le due regole della prospettiva pratica is a 1583 Roman treatise on perspective by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, printed by Francesco Zannetti for students and practising painters. Its pages are geometric diagrams of construction lines, vanishing points and orthogonals drawn in fine black line on plain paper, showing how to project a plan into a convincing three-dimensional space; a designer could borrow their clean rule-based grids and converging perspective lines as structural motifs.
