Lorenzo Sirigatti's 1596 Italian treatise on perspective, published in Venice by Girolamo Franceschi for Grand Duke Ferdinando Medici of Tuscany, teaches geometric drawing and chiaroscuro to artists and architects. Its plates show polyhedra and spheres built from grids and shaded planes, which a designer could use as references for faceted forms, light falloff across angled surfaces, and cross-hatched shading.
