Andrea Palladio, Proscenium of the Teatro Olimpico, Vicenza, Italy, 1584





Instead of painting the design on canvas, as usually done for theatre props, Palladio designed the stage built of wood and plaster, using spatial techniques to manipulate and exaggerate the perspective. The section helps to understand how it is done.A similar technique will be used in the form of moving image, where only the movement through the space will reveal the montage.
