Vanishing point Vanishing point A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective drawing where the two-dimensional perspective projections (or drawings) of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge. When the set of parallel lines is perpendicular to a picture plane, the construction is known as one-point perspective, and their vanishing point corresponds to the oculus, or "eye point", from which the image should be viewed for correct perspective geometry. Traditional linear drawings use objects with one to three sets of parallels, defining one to three vanishing points. The vanishing point may also be referred to
The Ideal City (painting) attributed tentatively to Francesco di Giorgio Martini and dated eventually as 1477. "The Ideal City" celebrates the values in a well-ordered society, architecture stands as a metaphor for good government. The illusion of space is achieved using a mathematical perspective system developed in Florence. The receding lines that establish spatial relationships converge at a central point, located in the middle of the city gate. In a scene from the 1995 thriller, "Twelve Monkeys", Bruce Willis' character looks at "The Ideal City" in the Walters Art Museum. "The Ideal City" is one of the paintings available to buy virtually inside the
