Thank you! Just read about how that happened.
That crazy restorer looks like she is still alive. She said she went to a psychologist after people made fun of it and is now proud of it, saying Hes handsome!
What an idiot!

Maybe, but I think it was earlier than that - there was a lot of warfare going on between the French and the Papal States during the first half of the 16th century. Napoleon went through there, too.

“The introduction of perspective into painting was a big thing.One tends to think that it was always there but it wasnt.”
It seems to have been developed by the ancient Romans and then lost. Take a look at some of the pictures of mosaics and remnants of paintings from Pompeii and Herculaneum and you’ll see the artists there used it.

Now I get into more art history. Are you aware of any piece of early Renaissance art that predates this and also shows perspective? Or, could this be a real find, the first one that does it?
