Question

renaissance art
which painting shows the use of perspective?
the nativity,
duccio, 1311
the adoration of the magi,
sandro botticelli, 1482
the nativity,
unknown, ca. 1400

Explanation:

Perspective in art creates an illusion of depth. The painting The Adoration of the Magi by Sandro Botticelli (1482) shows architectural elements (like the structure in the background) and the arrangement of figures that follow perspective principles. Earlier works (like the 1311 The Nativity) often had flatter, less - perspective - based compositions. The third painting also lacks the clear use of linear perspective seen in Botticelli's work.

Answer:

The Adoration of the Magi, Sandro Botticelli, 1482.
