Albrecht DAOErer perspective machine for drawings 1525

Albrecht Durer perspective machine for drawings "Draughtsman drawing a lute" a woodcut by Albrecht Durer showing how to make a perspective drawing of a lute. This appears in his Underweysung der Messung ( 1525 ), the first mathematical book to be published in German. In 1525 the artist Albrecht Durer published a treatise on measurement which included a series of illustrations of drawing frames and perspective machines. The aim of these devices was to enable artists to take accurate measurements of their chosen subject or to trace a scene as it appeared before them in order to create a convincing illusion of the real world. Durer discusses in the book of " Underweysung der Messung " an assortment of mechanisms for drawing in perspective from models and provides woodcut illustrations of these methods that are often reproduced in discussions of perspective
