Abstract
When Barbaro alludes to his forthcoming treatise on perspective in his commentary on Vitruvius, it is to make two promises: to explain the ways in which perspective interweaves two distinct sciences – geometry and natural vision – into one,and to show how an understanding of certain geometric figures are a great help in many things, ‘and especially in perspective’.
