Abstract

The research reviews the development of perspective techniques and their impact on the structure of the pictorial painting, between the Middle Ages and the European Renaissance. The medieval artist relied on religious symbolism in depicting his works, in addition to the flatness that included the two dimensions, which had an impact on the arrangement and distribution of elements on the surface of the painting. Artists in the early stages of the Renaissance made many attempts to depict depth in the painting and make the elements three-dimensional and closer to reality, and the discovery of oil colors contributed to this development.

As for the Renaissance, it witnessed a great development in the perspective vision, which allowed it to make the work more realistic, through linear and aerial perspective, as these innovations played a prominent role in improving the visual composition, and developed the way the viewer perceives the pictorial painting.

The research concluded that the development of perspective vision had a prominent role in making the pictorial painting more realistic and increasing depth, and this development reflected the intellectual and cultural transformations in that period.
