Abstract
This paper is aim at Baldassarre Peruzzi’s “The Study for a Comic Scenery” and resolves an aspect of the simplification in the development of Perspective in Renaissance Italy. “The Study for a Comic Scenery” holds by Royal Library at Turin. This figure is represented with a part of the urban scenery and the facade of the three−storied buildings as perspective drawing. We consider the subject under the following heads : (1) set the vanishing point of the figure, (2) clear up the drawings based on the vanishing point and horizontal line, the dividing line between buildings and street, and the dividing line between facade and caves, (3) from all these considerations, suppose the drawing method. The results are as follows. It is conclude that the Peruzzi’s drawing method of “The Study for a Comic Scenery” was perspective by set up the standard grid on a two−dimensional picture plane.
