Abstract
The invention of artifi cial perspective in the Renaissance constitutes one of the historical facts that has determined, to a greater extent, the Western predisposition to look for verisimilitude in the artistic representation. The twodimensional images that allowed appreciating an illusory third dimension made according to certain rules turned into a referential model of iconic construction. The following is a theoretical refl ection that aims, on the one hand, to study in depth the foundations of artifi cial perspective, mainly through León Battista Alberti, and on the other hand, to track down the connections between the discovery of artifi cial perspective and the interest to create images «the most similar to the original» in the beginnings of Photography.
