Quadratura
The art style Quadratura is characterized by its use of perspective to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.

Detailed Description
Quadratura, also known as quadrature, is a term used to describe the use of geometric shapes to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. It is a technique that has been used by artists since the Renaissance, and is still used today in both painting and architecture. Some of the most famous examples of quadratura can be found in the work of the Italian artist Andrea Pozzo. His paintings of trompe l’oeil ceilings, which make use of perspective and optical illusions to create the impression of a three-dimensional space, are some of the most famous examples of the technique. Other notable examples of quadratura include the work of the Dutch artist M. C. Escher, who used it to create his famous ‘impossible’ drawings, and the Spanish artist Salvador Dali, who used it in his painting ‘The Persistence of Memory’. Quadratura is a technique that can be used to create stunning and realistic effects. If you’re interested in learning more about it, there are plenty of resources available online and in libraries.
