Linear perspective is about the size and proportions of objects represented in a piece. Atmospheric perspective is about the clarity and detail of these objects. Most art that tries to replicate 3-dimensional scenes in 2-dimensions uses both.

Linear perspective was important because it enabled the 3 dimensional world to be translated into the 2d world of the picture plane. This had an immediate impact on the representation of reality in art and design (architecture).
Brunelleschi is credited with being the first to use geometric principles for creating linear perspective.

Depth.
Perspective in art, such as linear perspective, is a technique used to create the illusion of depth and space on a two-dimensional surface. By accurately representing how objects appear smaller as they recede into the distance, perspective helps to create a realistic depiction of space and form, making the artwork more true to life or realistic.
Artists did not yet know how to use perspective and so the art appears flat.
