| Abstract: | Measurements were made directly from the fresco, using scaffolding. We found the centric point of the perspective scheme, and, by considering the coffers of the barrel vault, calculated the ideal viewing distance of the picture to be about the width of the aisle of the church. We found numerous departures from correct mathematical perspective. All seem to have been deliberate. The nature of the mathematical techniques that we found to have been employed tends to confirm the conventional view that Brunelleschi made some contribution to the picture, and, further, leads us to suggest that Brunelleschi's discovery in regard to perspective may have been the existence and properties of the centric point |
