As an artist, architect, poet and philosopher, he revolutionized the history of art with his theories of perspective in On Painting (1435).

Perspective (graphical), representing the effects of visual perspective in graphic arts; Aerial perspective, the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance; Perspective distortion (photography), the way that viewing a picture from the wrong position gives a perceived distortion
This composition is a bijective map of the points of S 2 onto itself which preserves collinear points and is called a perspective collineation (central collineation in more modern terminology). [7] Let φ be a perspective collineation of S 2. Each point of the line of intersection of S 2 and T 2 will be fixed by φ and this line is called the ...
De prospectiva pingendi (On the Perspective of Painting) is the earliest and only pre-1500 Renaissance treatise solely devoted to the subject of perspective. [1] It was written by the Italian master Piero della Francesca in the mid-1470s to 1480s, [ 2 ] and possibly by about 1474. [ 3 ]
