Abstract
The dawn of perspective can trace back to the achievements by
Craftsmen of the 16th century in southern Germany. German
Craftsmen after the death of A. Durer are succeeding a
perspective that used by artists and architects of the fifteenth
century in Italy. H. Lencker, L. Stoer, and W. Jamnitzer who are
German Craftsmen have published pattern-books. In this study,
we focus on pattern-books by German Craftsmen, we consider
construction method for Craftsmen early 16th century in southern
Germany, and compared with French-Italian drawing method. As
a result, the south German Craftsmen who are combination of
three.dimensional polyhedral shapes (figurative solid) used to
represent the perspective. On the other hand, we conclude that
mathematicians and artists in France and Italy the same period
was not a representation of three-dimensional shapes. And we
consider that they assume the space outside three-dimensional
shape, set the space-grid, and accurately represent threedimensional
shapes.
