This woodcut by Albrecht Durer, titled *Underweysung der Messung* (Nuremberg, 1538), is a page from a larger book illustrating the principles of geometry and perspective. The page depicts two scenes showing the application of perspective, demonstrating how to accurately represent objects and scenes in three dimensions. The intricate details and precise lines in Durer's work demonstrate his mastery of this technique, which was highly innovative for its time. This book helped spread the understanding and use of perspective in art and architecture during the Renaissance.
