Renaissance art is very much about the painterly discovery of perspectival space, namely the ability to represent an imaginary depth extending beyond the surface of the canvas into distant horizons. One might describe these works as ’first generation virtual reality’, where those painters were striving to immerse the viewer’s perceptual field within persuasively illusionistic, narrative worlds.
