- Samenvatting:
- Ludovico Cigoli's 'Prospettiva pratica' (Practical Perspective) is both a work of artistic literature and an extraordinary scientific document on the role attributed to the representation of the visible world in Galileo's research. Composed by one of the painters closest to Galileo in the years of the great astronomical discoveries (1610-1613), the treatise illustrates decisive themes for perspective drawing, from orthogonal projections to shadow projection, from theatrical scenes to the use of mechanical instruments.
