Choice Outstanding Academic Title
"It is astounding-that this book had not already been written. Synthesizing previously published studies on ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and modem perspective systems, Dunning provides a compendium of the best that has been thought and written about pictorial illusion over the past 50 years. . . . Richly persuasive and illuminating in its extended analysis of individual works as well as the overall thesis, this book belongs in every library concerned with the history of art."—Choice
