Transformations of platonic solids (hexa- and icosahedron), from Wenzel Jamnitzer’s Perspectiva Corporum Regularium (1568).
Featured on PDR in the essay The Polyhedral Perspective
When geometrical solids took hold of the Renaissance imagination, they promised the quintessence of the third dimension in its pure and unadulterated form. Noam Andrews discovers how polyhedra descended from mathematical treatises to artists’ studios, distilling abstract ideas into objects one could see and touch.
