QUESTIONS-
1-The Medieval Arab interpretation of perspective was centered in Mathematics. How did the Italian Renaissance interpretation differ?
2-Both Arab and Italian varieties of perspective were developed as methods of measurement. What do each of these methods seek to measure?
3-The difference in these two interpretations of perspective illustrates the degree to which perception and aesthetic values are both temporally and culturally constructed. Provide an example that illustrates the difference between the prevailing aesthetic systems in Italy and the Ottoman Empire during the Renaissance-Baroque period.
