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. Its plates are engraved architectural drawings: elevations, plans, and stage-set perspective frames, mostly drawn with fine parallel hatching. A designer can take from them the geometry of classical porticos, arches, and vanishing-point construction lines.
