Appendix 3-Renaissance Practitioners

    The appendices which follow distinguish between practitioners (I) and theoreticians (II). Practitioners produced perspectival art (paintings, drawings, frescoes, sculptures). Theoreticians wrote or are reputed to have written documents concerning their activities as artists. These lists serve two main functions: first as a handy reference for basic names, variants, dates, with some indication of particular contribution, whether the artist was active in proto-perspective (i.e. non-technical approximations) or linear perspective; and their specialty, whether they were expert in marquetry, scenography, quadratura (illusionistic ceiling painting), trompe l'oeil or anamorphosis, usually giving some concrete example(s) of their work. Secondly, the lists survey only those individuals who have been discussed in the literature. The bibliogaphy provides a catalogue of all contributers to perspective.

Bouts, Dirk (1410/1420-1475)

Dirk Bouts was an early practitioner of perspective in the Netherlands. He has been credited as the first (c.1464) to use a central vanishing point in the Low Countries (cf. Petrus Christus, 1457).

Kern (1910) touched on the question of his perspectival practice. Doehlemann (1911) analysed his Last Supper in the Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament (Louvain, Sint Peter, 1464-1467) and claimed that this was the first use of a single vanishing point construction in the North. This was cited by Panofsky (1927, fig.7), and deserves comparison with his Christ in the House of the Pharisee Simon (Christus im Haus des Pharisäers Simon, Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, Kat. Nr. 533A). Collier (1975) in a significant dissertation analysed the paintings of Petrus Christus and Dirk Bouts, as well as contemporaries such as Albrecht Bouts, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes and Gerard David.

He was discussed by Panofsky (1953) and Harnest (1971, 11,38,90).

Brunelleschi, Filippo di Ser (1377-1446)

Brunelleschi, an architect who studied Roman ruins and completed the dome in Florence, was reported by Filarete and Manetti to have made the first two panels using linear perspective in a strict sense (c. 1415-1425): one showing the Baptistery, the other showing the Piazza della Signoria. He was also active in stage scenery for San Lorenzo, Sagrestia Vecchia (1420-1429); San Felice in Piazza (1430). Cf. Santissima Annunziata (1439); Chiesa del Carmine (1439)and Santo Spirito (1439) discussed by Zorzi (1972).

Brunelleschi's perspectival experiments were first discussed by Filarete (c.1464), Manetti (c.1489-1497) and Vasari (I,238,269,272-273). Modern discussions began with Fabriczy (1892), Nielsen (1896), Björnbo (1903), Kern (1913), Panofsky (1927) and Fasolo (1936). Giedion (1941, 32-35) described Brunelleschi as a pivotal figure in his Space, Time and Architecture. An important article by Argan (1946, cf. 1948) also linked Brunelleschi's perspective with architecture and the development of modern concepts of space in the West, themes pursued by Francastel (1951). In the course of the 1950's Brunelleschi emerged as a symbol of new links between art and science during the Renaissance. Sanpaolesi (1951) turned attention to the mathematical, mechanical and scientific context of his work, themes developed by Kline (1953), Randall (1957) and Santillana (1959). On the art historical side an important article by Wittkower (1953) linked Brunelleschi with central concerns of proportion in the Renaissance, a theme later developed by Boskovits (1962).

A major monograph on Ghiberti by Krautheimer (1956) claimed that Brunelleschi had in fact introduced the ground plan-elevation method of perspective. These trends were supported in a series of studies by White (1949, 1952, 1957, 113-126). White, Gioseffi (1957) and Parronchi (1958-1959) focussed attention on the details of precisely how Brunelleschi produced his panels. Klein (1961, 224) in a major article on Gauricus claimed that Brunelleschi knew "the existence and the signification of the central vanishing point...and also of the distance point". Meanwhile Lemoine (1958) proposed that Brunelleschi's experiment was connected with the recovery of Ptolemy's Geography, deriving specifically from his second cartographic projection. After repeating Brunelleschi's experiment in situ (1968) Edgerton (1972) re-examined the alternative explanations. While challenging Lemoine's specific claims, Edgerton (1974) insisted that Ptolemaic cartography had played a major role in the discovery of perspective, a theme which he developed in book form (1975). Beltrame (1973) reviewed the major explanations for Brunelleschi's experiments and drew attention to the importance of the surveying tradition for these developments. Kemp (1978) also reviewed the literature. Lang (1980) suggested that Brunelleschi's two panels were attempts to illustrate Vitruvian stage sets for tragic and comic plays respectively. A major conference on Brunelleschi (1980) with articles by Vagnetti, Brion-Guerry and others reviewed many of these developments. Psychologists have also become interested in Brunelleschi's experiments, notably Arnheim (1978), Pastore (1979) and Kubovy (1986). In all there have been well over a hundred articles on Brunelleschi's contribution. Most of these do not cite the few lines in Filarete and Manetti which are our only real sources for what he did, and simply hail Brunelleschi as a symbol as if the complex development which emerged slowly in the course of three centuries was actually a single event.

Eyck, Jan Van (c.1390-1441)

(Van Eyck, Jan)

Jan, the brother of Hubert Van Eyck was praised by Fielding (1836,12) as "one of the earliest mentioned cultivators of perspective since the revival of painting in which he is stated by Bartolommeo Bramantino to have been almost unrivalled, an assertion ably supported by his paintings". An article by Von Tschudi (1899) examined his Madonna with a Carthusian monk. Seeck (1901) described distinguishing characteristics of the van Eyck brothers. The first serious study of his work was a landmark article by Kern (1904) which reconstructed the perspectival lines of 14 paintings and claimed that mastery of perspective could be used as a tool in determining the chronology of these paintings. This was challenged by Doehlemann (1905, 1906, 1911, 1912), who insisted that van Eyck had not known the technical laws of perspective. Kern (1912) pursued his studies now showing that his paintings depicted real churches: that the round church in the Madonna with the Canon van der Paele (Brugge) was linked with St. Sépulchre in Neuvy near Dijon; that the building in the Church Madonna (Kirchen Madonna, Berlin, Dahlem) was linked with St. Bénigne in Dijon and that the Annunciation (Leningrad, Hermitage) was linked with Notre Dame of Dijon which led him to claim that van Eyck must have lived in Dijon and probably learned rules of proto-perspective from Broederlam there. All three of these churches had links with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. This was discussed by Neut (1912). Panofsky (1927) drew attention to the Funeral (Totenoffizium), one of seven illuminated folios by Van Eyck in the Heures de Milan, i.e. the Tres Belles Heures de Notre Dame (formerly Milan, Biblioteca Trivulziano, now Turin, Museo Civico, 1415-1417), and related to the Heures de Turin (Ore di Torino). Andrieu (1929) analysed Van Eyck's Presentation in the temple which had just been acquired by the Louvre. Panofsky (1935,1938) focussed attention on the Friedsam Annunciation or Friedsam Altarpiece (New York, Metropolitan Museum). White (1957, 108, 225) mentioned his Annunciation, Arnolfini Portrait, Madonna of the Chancellor Rolin (or Rolin Madonna, Paris, Louvre, 1435), Van der Paele Altarpiece, Virgin Enthroned and Virgin in Church. Brandi (1960) and Brand-Philip (1967) reconsidered van Eyck's contribution as did Collier (1975) in a dissertation on Petrus Christus. Frohlich-Bume (1966) drew attention to Van Eyck's Madonna of Ypres (Warwick Castle). Harnest (1971,8-9) analysed his Madonna of the Chancellor Rolin and the Friedsam Annunciation (New York, Metropolitan). Ragghianti (1977, 489) mentioned a drawing of an Annunciation (Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, c.1400) and considered his influence on Italian art. Carleton (1980) used a computer to reconstruct the perspective of the Arnofini Portrait (London, National Gallery) and related paintings by van Eyck.

Fabritius, Carel (1622-1654)

Carel Fabritius was a practitioner of perspective best known for his View of Delft (London, National Gallery, 1652).

Bredius (1910) provided biographical notes. Wheelock (1973,1977) suggested that Fabritius probably used an optical aid such as a camera obscura to achieve the effects of his View of Delft. Liedtke (1976) argued that Fabritius was experimenting with anamorphosis and intended that the panel be on a hemi-cylindrical surface. Brown (1981) returned to these debates in his complete edition of the artist's works, acutely reviewed by Ruurs (1982) who offered an alternative explanation.

Fouquet is best known for his Heures d'Etienne Chevalier (Chantilly, Musée Condé), remarkable for its views of real buildings (such as the Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame in Paris) and for curvilinear effects which have been described as synthetic perspective by White (1949). He also illustrated Boccaccio's Decameron (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cod. gall, 6, fol., c.1458.), the frontispiece to Statuts de l'ordre de Saint Michel écrits par Louis XI (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, ms. fr. 19819, c.1469); Antiquités Judäiques (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, ms. fr. 247 et nouv. acq. fr. 21013, c.1470), Grandes Chroniques de la France (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, ms. fr. 6465); the Histoire de Priscus Tarquin in the Tite Live de Versailles (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, ms. fr. 273, c.1475); Tite-Live de Rochechouart ou de la Sorbonne (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, ms. fr. 20071, 1478) which are important documents showing the development of mainly proto-perspective within the tradition of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Brion-Guerry (103) also mentioned the Heures de Baudricourt (Collection Charnacé) as the work of an imitator of Fouquet and referred to the Master of Jouvenel des Ursins as an another important follower.

Baldi (1588) attributed to Luciano the Urbino Panel of an idealized city. Von Reber (1890) revived this idea and described Lauranna as the founder of high Renaissance architecture. Budinich (1903) pursued the attribution with new evidence and attributed to him also the Berlin and Baltimore Panels. This was reported by Geymüller (1887-1904), Von Fabriczy (1904) and Gronau (1905) who found archival evidence of a panel by Fra Carnevale.

Petrovich (1947) returned to the work of these two figures and again attributed to Luciano the Urbino Panel. Kimball (1927) and Krautheimer (1948) explored links to theatre. Sanpaolesi (1949) reviewed the evidence arguing that the authorship should be sought in the names Giuliano da Sangallo, Baccio d'Agnolo and Cronaca. Shearman (1975) considered new archival evidence.
