One Point Linear Perspective


In one-point linear perspective, lines are drawn on the picture plane in such a way as to represent parallel lines receding to a single point on the viewers' horizon. One point linear perspective is the eye level of a person that even though they see different points, they all go back to one point which is close to eye level. In this painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, the eye sees many points throughout that go up to the arch, the moldings, the details of the ceiling, but they points can always go back to the center two men. Mainly the one on the right, whose face is forward, he is a focal point to go back to.
