Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum is a 1758 Roman perspective treatise by the Jesuit painter and architect Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709), published by Salomoni for students of painting and architecture. Its plates show architectural elevations, plans and perspective constructions drawn in fine line with careful measured ranks of arches and columns, a useful reference for designers studying how orthogonal guide lines and vanishing points organise a space.
