Florence and Baghdad: Renaissance Art and Arab Science
Hans Belting
The theory of perspective, which allowed Florentine artists to depict the world from a spectator’s point of view, originated in Baghdad with an eleventh-century mathematician. Using the metaphor of the mutual gaze, Belting narrates the encounter between science and art, Arab Baghdad and Renaissance Florence, that revolutionized Western culture.
