The book follows the search for perspective among artists through an exploration of geometry, which began in Florence during the renaissance. Influencing the work of artists such as Paulo Uccello, Piero della Francesco and Leonardo Da Vinci, it spread to Germany through the work of Dϋrer and others. It was there, in Germany, for a brief period in the mid-16th century, the fashion for polyhedral-based geometrical designs flourished as a distinct art form.
