I remember well my astonishment and delight sixty years ago when I took my first drafting class and was taught the principles of drawing in perspective, which included foreshortening. Ever since, my brain automatically checks for proper use, which I’m sure is why I’ve never developed an appreciation for pre-Renaissance art.
