Synopsis

""The Art of Drawing in Perspective: From Mathematical Principles"" is a book written by George Douglass and published in 1805. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of perspective drawing, which is the technique used to create the illusion of depth and space in two-dimensional art. Douglass's approach to perspective drawing is based on mathematical principles, and he provides a detailed explanation of the geometry involved in creating accurate perspective. He covers topics such as vanishing points, foreshortening, and the use of grids and scale to create accurate drawings. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts presented. Douglass also provides practical advice on how to apply these principles to drawing from observation, including tips on composition, lighting, and shading. Overall, ""The Art of Drawing in Perspective"" is a valuable resource for artists and students of art who want to improve their understanding of perspective drawing and create more convincing and realistic artwork.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
