Perspective Painting

0.01 sec.

a type of painting in which artistic expressiveness is based on the use of linear perspective. A decorative form of painting, it illusionistically expands real architectural space. Perspective painting was characteristic of the Renaissance and, more particularly, the baroque periods. It has also been used in set design. Examples of perspective painting are 17th- and 18th-century Italian landscapes known as vedute (by Canaletto, B. Bellotto, and others) and paintings for the decoration of interiors, which were especially popular in 17th-century Holland (by E. de Witte and others). In Russian art, the best-known works of this type were produced by masters of the Venetsianov school.
