Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical and drawing aids have been known at least since Aristotle. However, they took on particular importance in Renaissance since their use was closely tied to changing notions of artistic status, competing models of perception, and not least to the formulation of a recognizably modern conception of art making.
