Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. / In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

by Andrea Pozzo

The Fifty-ninth FIGURE.

The Plans of an Octangular Tabernacle.

Octangular Figures being more difficult to be put in Perspective, than the Square; I shall use my best Endeavours to render the Method as plain as possible. The Composition whose Plans you see in A and B, has much Affinity with that describ’d in the Fifty-eighth Figure. The Visual CD receives the Sections, from which Perpendiculars are rais’d for the Elevation and Profile of the following Figure, as has been often said. If you would delineate the Back-part separate from the Fore-part, you may do the former by means of the Line CE, and the latter by that of FD.
