Atmospheric perspective is an illusion used to make a 2-dimensional art piece look 3-dimensional. Things in the back of the painting are grayer and less detailed than things at the front of the painting. This mimics how things that are closer to you are easier to see more clearly.

What is the difference between atmospheric perspective and linear perspective?

Linear perspective is created by making closer objects appear larger than farther objects, proportionate to the distance between lines that recede towards a vanishing point on the horizon. Atmospheric perspective shows objects that are closer to the foreground with more detail than objects that are farther away. Realistic artworks normally use both.


What term is defined as the convergence of lines in the distance vanishing point horizontal line or atmospheric perspective?

What is atmospheric perspective in art?

In the simplest sense, it is the creation of an illusion of depth. To achieve the illusion of depth one can do many things, but to considering the atmosphere, of course, is considering the idea of 'atmospheric perspective' (especially in a 3D image), one may try to communicate the depth, the lighting, the objects, perspective, among many circumstances to create the illusion of atmospheric perspective For example: Creating the atmospheric perspective of fogginess, a painter may consider images closer to the viewer to be more defined and less engulfed by fog, whereas a figure further away may only seem a shadowy figure or silhouette.

What artist used atmospheric perspective during the Renaissance?

Giotto contributed to the Renaissance's use of atmospheric perspective as he showed he showed it first in his artworks. Gentile da Fabriano's Adoration of the Magi (1422) would be the first one in the period but Masaccio's Tribute Money (1426) is the first one which showed the accurate use of atmospheric perspective.


How is linear perspective different from atmospheric perspective?

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.


Which painting offers a classic illustration of both atmospheric and linear perspective?

Many paintings offer an illustration of both atmospheric and linear perspective, I would recommend Looking at Claude Lorrain's 1648 oil painting "Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba". Linear perspective can be seen by the straight lines which angle in towards the sun on the horizon. Atmospheric perspective can be seen by the way the closest building is detailed and the farther buildings have less detail.
