The Annunciation by Carlo Crivelli
Carlo Crivelli painted The Annunciation (now at the National Gallery, London) for the church of SS. Annunziata in Ascoli Piceno in 1486.
The artist is believed to have in-depth knowledge of two important treatises on one-point geometrical perspective, namely Della Pittura written in 1436 by
Leon Alberti and De Prospectiva pingendi of c. 1474 by Piero della Francesca. The project set out to investigate Crivelli's application and
manipulation of contemporary theoretical principles of geometrical perspective, as well as analyse other elements of the pictorial composition, including its
light and scenographic effects.
A CAD computer model of the space represented in the painting was created to this effect.
