The picture above is entitled Delivery of the Keys (1481-2) by Pietro Perugino and is found in the Sistine Chapel. Here you can see a sharp distinction in terms of brightness and size between the foreground and background thereby creating a perspective and layering. The people in the foreground also seemed to be painted on top of one another with the people all the way up front being the most noticeable and the most outlined by the artist so as to show that they are nearest to the viewer. Additionally, the landscape in the background and its size helps to create a depth to the painting and gives it a 3D feel. The squares on the bottom of the painting extend towards the viewer growing larger in size to create the image of reality.Sorry for the late post- I just came back from a wedding in Indiana and had thought I would get internet access but unfortunately was unable to.
