Aerial perspective is a term orginally used in describing paintings where the impression of depth in a landscape is obtained by distant hills or other parts of the landscape becoming less detailed an moving towards a blue_gray tone. A way of suggesting the far distance in a landscape by using paler colours (sometimes tinged with blue), less pronounced tones, and vaguer forms. A shot with visual depth in which distance objects appear less distinctly than objects in foreground, often as a result of atmospheric conditions (e.g., desert heat).
Aerialperspective or atmospheric perspective is the effect on the appearance of an object by air between it and a viewer.
Aerialperspective was discovered and named by Leonardo Da Vinci, who used it in many of his works, such as the Mona Lisa, in order to suggest distance.
In art, aerialperspective is used to describe the painting technique of creating depth by depicting distant objects as paler, less detailed, and bluer than near objects.
But with the geometrical side of perspective I do not purpose to deal, for the reason that in actual painting it has not been usually considered by the painters of the past, and among those of the present it is not even generally understood.
Perspective is, perhaps, not so much an end of painting in itself as it is a means of obtaining certain effects.
If the painter's perspective be true, it may be planned and scaled by lines, but he does not consider the geometrical theory of form-shrinkage to gain the practical truth of perspective.
