Popis: This article addresses the importance of perspective in the work of Walter Pater by putting his treatment of the topic in Plato and Platonism and The Renaissance in relation to its place in art history and to the work of some of Pater’s immediate Victorian predecessors. The classic formulations of Erwin Panofsky prove useful in identifying the gains and losses to the perceiving self entailed in the evocation of perspective in relation to a mutable world.
