Description
Florence and Baghdad: A Study in the History of Art and Science
This lavishly illustrated study explores the historical encounter between science and art, tracing the development of perspective from its origins in 11th-century Baghdad to its adoption by Renaissance artists in Florence.
Through a nuanced examination of the intersection of Arab mathematics and European painting, Belting reveals how the theory of perspective transformed the way artists depicted the world, leading to a profound impact on Western culture.
