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 Seventh Figure.

Another Example of a Geometrical Plan and Upright, put in Perspective.

For drawing in Perspective a Pedestal, or Base, divided into four Parts, make the Plan A with its Divisions of Length ED, and of Breadth CD; and the same Divisions of Breadth EF, in the Elevation B, prolong’d to X. Then make the Perspective-Plan, by transferring the Breadth and Length into the Ground-line, by means of your Paper folded cross-wise. From which Plan the Perspective-Upright is very easily made, as may be plainly seen in the Figure. How the Base below, without occult Lines, is made from the Perspective-Plan and Upright, is manifest from what has been said before. I could wish you would be very diligent in the Practice of this Method by the Compass; because the Dispatch of Perspective-Delineations chiefly depends thereon.
