In the video Masters of Illusion the narrator is talking about how graphics artists are using perspective to make one-dimensional pictures and graphics appear as if they are three-dimensional. The trick is to focus on vanishing points where all the linear planes meet at one point. It makes things look smaller as if you were far away from the point you were looking at.
The Trinity is the first painting to use linear perspective perfectly. The perspective the artist used made it seem like there was a completely new room behind him using a vantage point. It was still a painting but also an illusion.
I found this video fairly interesting because now I can understand how life-like some paintings look. I always knew about vantage points and such but I never really knew how they worked or how to use them. But after watching this video I understand the basis of what they are used for and why they are used. I, myself, probably could never figure out how to use them correctly but knowing how they work and what they are used for could make a photograph or any piece of art better.
