Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum
Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum is a 1693 Roman treatise on perspective by the Jesuit painter Andrea Pozzo, written for painters and architects learning to draw illusionistic space. Its plates are engraved geometric constructions of architecture, showing vaults, pilasters and bracketed cornices in plan, elevation and receding perspective. A designer can take from them the stepwise grid and vanishing-point logic that underlies spatial drawing, with clear line structure for diagrams.
