A technique used in perspective to create the illusion of an object receding strongly into the distance or background.

A method of depicting three-dimensional objects in two dimensions, using parallel lines to transmit scales but not to converge at a point.

An extension of two-point and three-point perspective techniques where more than three vanishing points are used to create complex shapes and angles.

An Italian term that literally translates to 'light-dark'; in art, it refers to the strong contrast between light and shadow to give the illusion of three-dimensional forms.

A Renaissance painting technique developed by Leonardo da Vinci, sfumato is characterized by soft, blended transitions between colors and tones, intended to eliminate harsh lines.

Also known as aerial perspective, this technique creates the illusion of depth by gradually changing the color and clarity of objects intended to be perceived as distant.

A perspective system with three vanishing points: two on the horizon and one either above or below, creating a sense of height as well as width and depth.

A drawing method that shows how objects appear smaller as they get further away, converging towards two separate vanishing points on the horizon line.

A mathematical system for projecting the apparent dimensions of a three-dimensional object onto a flat surface. It involves creating a horizon line and vanishing points to simulate depth.

Rather than adhering to the mathematical rules of perspective, this type uses distortion to convey emotion or emphasize certain aspects of the composition.

Perspective representation without any vanishing points, often used to depict vast spaces such as deserts or oceans where no clear lines of perspective can be seen.

French for 'deceive the eye', trompe-l'oeil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

A perspective technique in which all lines converge on a single point on the horizon. This point is the central point of the perspective drawing.

A type of perspective with curved lines used to represent three-dimensional space, as seen in spherical or fisheye views.
