"Whatever its degree of sophistication in antiquity, the knowledge of perspective was lost until the fifteenth century. From the Duecento to the Cinquecento, after which art academies formally introduced the teaching of perspective, painters explored various techniques to evoke spatial depth on a flat surface. Progress was relatively uneven because painters did not always work in close contact with each other. Moreover, medieval painting was essentially a representation of religious, rather than human, experience."

University of Missouri is my home town. I am drawn to to this photograph because of the perpective use with the buildings heading to the horizon line. You can tell that the columns are measured correctly by the height differences starting from left to right.
