Color and perspective in Late Classical painting

The concept of a central perspective, as invented in the Early Renaissance, is unknown in ancient Greek painting. There is no visualization of space either in archaic images, where the figures stand on a continuous ground line, or in early classical ones, when a specific art of perspective (body per...

La notion de perspective centrale, inventée à la première Renaissance, est inconnue dans la peinture grecque antique. Il n’existe aucune illusion de profondeur dans les images archaïques, où les personnages se tiennent côte à côte sur une même ligne de sol, ni dans celles du début de l’époque classique, où apparaît un art perspectif bien particulier (la perspective corporelle), avec des personnages déhanchés qui peuvent se répartir sur plusieurs lignes de sol, à des hauteurs différentes, mais sans aucune cohérence des dimensions. Peu après le milieu du ive siècle, les peintres se dotent de nouveaux moyens : perspective corporelle améliorée, souvent associée à une représentation de la surface du sol, perspective corporelle vue par en dessous et perspective chromatique. Malgré ces innovations révolutionnaires, on ne trouve aucune organisation de l’espace à proprement parler dans la peinture grecque, où la perspective reste limitée au corps humain.

Color and perspective in Late Classical painting
description The concept of a central perspective, as invented in the Early Renaissance, is unknown in ancient Greek painting. There is no visualization of space either in archaic images, where the figures stand on a continuous ground line, or in early classical ones, when a specific art of perspective (body perspective) is invented and the figures, in contrapposto postures, may stand on ground lines placed at various heights but are still not coordinated in size. Shortly after the middle of the 4th century, there appear new pictorial means: enhanced body perspective, often combined with a ground surface, viewed-from-below body perspective and color perspective. Even with these revolutionary innovations, no space as such comes into being in Greek painting; perspective appears only as applied to bodies.
