Which of these statements most accurately characterizes linear perspective?

A. Having learned that distant objects tend to be closer together, we interpret a two-dimensional image on the retina in three dimensions.

B. Through experience, we determine that changes in images focused on the retina occur as a result of the motion of our bodies.

C. We learn to compensate for the monocular disparity between the retinal images of the left and right eye.

D. As we view a landscape, the relative sizes of objects are revealed by texture gradient cues.

Having studied linear perspective, we see that objects tend to become smaller and together as we move further from them; thus distant objects tend to be closer together.

The statement "Having learned that distant objects tend to be closer together, we interpret a two-dimensional image on the retina in three dimensions" most accurately characterizes linear perspective.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Linear Perspective is the concept of using mathematical principles to illustrate two dimensional figures into three dimensional ones. This is one of the finest arts, raised in the world, by Leonardo da Vinci. So, here lies the actual concept of linear perspective.

Linear perspective defines a projected drawing to impose as three dimensional one. One of the popular artist at all time, Filippo Brunelleschi, experimented with linear perspective in or around 1420.

He proposed a concept that if orthogonal lines can match can get converged on the horizon line, at the eye level, and then linear perspective can be achieved. And hence, the retina gets three dimensional figure, although it sees a two dimensional object.
