Two-Point Perspective

The focus point of this image is the bell tower which from this vantage point we can see from two sides.  This gives us a two point perspective on it which helps to give a sense of depth and the illusion of three dimensions to this piece. The use of shadow can be very effective when working with two point perspectives and here we see it on the steeple as well as the roof top. The extrusion from the bell tower are also seen from two point perspective and on each one side has been shaded in more than the others, showing the shadow, with the left extrusion casting a shadow onto the wall thus giving away the position of the sun.

The building to left of the image gives us an interesting perspective at its closest corner, where we can see both sides of its walls but also its roof tops. This appears in a very different manner to that of the steeple which is not only a higher building but also has a far steeper slope to its roof because of this at the corner we see three perspectives meet not just two adding to the complexity of the image.
