Linear Perspective is arguably one of the most significant technical developments in the history of art. Carefully read Gombrichs description of Masaccios masterpiece Holy Trinity (p. 228) and view the video presentation on Linear Perspective (see link below). It is clear that whatever his genius, Masaccio owed much to both Giotto and Brunelleschi. What impact did these figures have on Masaccios work? What makes Masaccios use of Linear Perspective particularly strong? How does he use it to fully engage the viewer with his work of art?
