It's really interesting how we basically didn't know how to create art in 3D on a flat medium until one day we did.
Khan Academy talks a bit about Brunelleschi's Experiment here which I found interesting: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/early-renaissance1/beginners-renaissance-florence/v/linear-perspective-brunelleschi-s-experiement
Leon Battista Alberti wrote a book containing Brunelleschi's findings in 1435, but it wasn't published until 1450. I wonder if other artists discovered this on their own or if it took the written documentation of the method to introduce this idea to the rest of the world.
