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
Will He Round the Point? the tip of the Skagen Odde peninsula where ships were frequently stranded. As in many of Ancher's pictures of fishermen, the work includes figures pointing or indicating alarm, urging the observer to imagine what is attracting their attention. The painting is just one of Ancher's many large paintings of Skagen's fishermen, the last being painted in 1896 which pays tribute to the heroic Lars Kruse who drowned in 1894. The original painting is still in the royal collection. There are three known versions, one of which is in Skagens Museum. Will He Round the Point? Will He Round the Point?
