Prospettive diverse
Prospettive diverse is a 1578 perspective treatise printed in Rome and attributed to Mario Cartaro, intended for artists and architects learning the geometry of perspective. Its etched plates show imagined colonnades, arcades, stairs and courtyards built on receding tiled floors, with figures placed to fix scale. A designer could take from them the device of strong orthogonal recession, with paired arches and tiled grids that organise a flat picture plane into deep space.
