Document Summary
Perugino, christ delivering the keys of the kingdom to saint peter. It is now normal for artists to paint with linear perspective. If you return to the ways of linear perspective you are considered primitive. The artist includes foreground with people, middle ground with activity, architecture, and landscape in the background. Perugino is showing off his strengths and his abilities. One point perspective is the most basic form of drawing in perspective. It has a single vanishing point that is placed on the horizon; where the sky and earth meet. Orthogonal lines are responsible for the positioning of the images. The horizon line is located where they are kneeling. There is a division between divine and mundane space in the image. The figures work within space; everything is in its exact relation in space which makes it seems real. The bottom of the image is a circophagaus.
