The Masters of Illusion Video was based on the beginning
concepts found in the renaissance. Illusions were inspired by the challenge of
taking something flat and making it appear three dimensional. The concept of illusions
began in Florence, Italy where it strives as the renaissance monument. Here was
where a famous renaissance artist discovered the formula to perspective and
vanishing points. The first known painting to demonstrate true linear
perspective and the science of art was the “Trinity”. And Albrecht Durer was the one of the
earliest examples of multiple point perspective. Leonardo Da Vinci was clever
enough to study the eye for perspective and how light traveled into it to
manipulated two-dimensional works. Soon the perspective of disappearance and
the study of foreground compared to background began to take effect in
paintings. The findings these renaissance men discovered are techniques we
still use today which makes this video all the more important and interesting
to analyze and understand.
