Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foreshortening is the technique of depicting figures or objects at a sharp angle, so they appear to thrust forward towards the viewer. This technique creates an illusion of depth and dimensionality, which Mantegna effectively used in the Camera Picta frescoes to create a dynamic and immersive environment. The other answer choices, such as linear perspective, pietra serena, and atmospheric perspective, were also employed by Mantegna in his artwork, but they do not specifically relate to the illusion of figures projecting into space.
