Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear perspective is generally credited to Brunelleschi, who discovered it in the early 1400s while trying to find a way to accurately depict Florentine architecture in his paintings. While other artists, such as Masaccio and Alberti, also played a role in the development and spread of linear perspective, Brunelleschi is often credited with its initial discovery. Donatello, while a contemporary of Brunelleschi, was primarily a sculptor and did not contribute to the development of linear perspective.
