Leonardo’s Perspective
• Leonardo believed “The eye was the perfect instrument for learning the laws of nature and perspective, and the artist is the perfect person to illustrate them.”

Leonardo’s Perspective
Linear PerspectiveLinear Perspective can be defined as the
illusion of creating dimensions and distances on a flat surface such as a canvas
or a wall.

Leonardo’s Perspective Vocabulary
• Horizon Line – The line across the canvas that represents the line where the sky meets the ground.
• Vanishing Point – A point located on the horizon line (usually the center). A point where all lines run toward the horizon. Usually you think of train tracks disappearing into the horizon or what we call the vanishing point.
• Orthogonal lines – Lines that help the viewer connect points on the canvas to the vanishing points. It helps the artist to put objects into perspective.

Leonardo’s Perspective
• Madonna of the Rocks• Can you locate the
horizon line, vanishing point, and orthogonal lines?
• Be careful. They do not always have to be directly in view.

Leonardo’s Perspective
• To have a complete understanding of linear perspective, Leonardo had to have an understanding of proportionality of objects.
• Objects do not appear to be the same at different distances.
• Using orthogonal lines, Leonardo was able to recreate the proportionality of objects at different distances.
• We will recreate Leonardo’s perspective.

Sketches of a horse by
Leonardo
These were to be used to make a statue 4 times the height of a normal
horse
