Question

how does masaccio reinforce the one point perspective seen in the house in the image above?
a. by making the figures in the background darker
b. by adding the sky and mountains
c. by diminishing the size of the trees in the background
d. none of the above

Explanation:

One - point perspective in art relies on the principle of diminishing size as objects recede into the distance to create the illusion of depth. Masaccio, to reinforce the one - point perspective related to the house, would use the technique of making objects in the background (like trees) smaller. Option a is about value (darkness) which is more related to atmospheric perspective. Option b, adding sky and mountains, doesn't directly reinforce one - point perspective. So the correct option is c.

Answer:

c. by diminishing the size of the trees in the background
