The use of a cutaway view to show both the interior and exterior of a building was a common Gothic convention in Northern European art during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance period. This can be seen in works such as the Très Riches Heures, which was created in the early 15th century before the introduction of linear perspective in Northern European art. While the art is naturalistic to a certain extent, this is not the primary focus or characteristic of the work. The Italian Renaissance style was not yet present in the region at the time this work was created.
