Abstract

 

Translation of the article by Professor P.H.D. Samuel Y. Edgerton, Jr. for the publication Cultures, No. 3, Vol III, 1976. Edgerton wrote a series of essays dealing with the connections between art and science during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In this article he discusses, in a Western view, the transformations in the late Middle Ages in Europe, with the emergence of scientific methods of drawing from the linear perspective, which would have immense impact in almost all areas of knowledge.
