The transmission of the optical science in the painters’ workshops at the beginning of the fifteenth century is the cultural event that led to the development of the geometric rules of perspective representation. The modalities with which this transmission took place are generally attributable to the diffusion of the founding text of Leon Battista Alberti’ De pictura, written in Florence in 1435. It is likely, however, that Alberti himself benefited from a geometric culture already well established in the painters’ workshops, that is, the practical geometry of the Abachist masters who for at least two centuries had served as a bridge between the mathematical sciences taught in universities and the practical applications implemented by artists and topographers. The methods of measuring by eye, in particular, were based on the principle of intersection of the visual pyramid, the same that Alberti established as the foundation of the new art of painting.
