Re:The Art of the Shadow: How Painters Have Gotten It Wrong ... by CadmiumYellow on Wednesday February 15, 2023 @12:34PM (#34807444)
Linear perspective was "invented" in 1415 and codified in a 1450 book, at which point the concept started to spread but still wasn't widely understood. A lot of the paintings in this article have extremely wonky perspective as well. This was a transitional era in art history when formal rules for realistic painting were being developed but weren't necessarily widely or correctly used.
