The Mirror, the Window, and the Telescope: How Renaissance Linear Perspective Changed Our Vision of the Universe

Edgerton shows how linear perspective emerged in early fifteenth-century Florence out of an artistic and religious context in which devout Christians longed for divine presence in their daily lives and ultimately undermined medieval Christian cosmology.
