| Summary: | The inverse perspective is a method of representing spatial depth used only in Byzantine painting. It is different from Renaissance perspective (a method of realistic, conventional, subjective, subject to a single point of view).
The inverse perspective, with two-dimensional axonometric representations, is more complex, offering multiple possibilities of symbolization.
Various theories have considered either optical-geometric aspect or artistic-cultural aspect as the main factors that generated it. But they have not led to a unified conclusion.
This study highlights the common elements of these theories, bringing together the two issues and providing a philosophical-religious interpretation. |
