Summary/Abstract: The art begins with the existence of humanity’ hypothesis is a common vision among artists. The ongoing development of art, which has been used in ancient times, has been in all branches of art both in its purposes and in its tools. Was it a ceremonial need to build a hegemony against nature? the exact answer to your questions is unknown. The art, which served to religious narratives and later to aristocracy, started to acquire its unique identity as time went on and walked side by side with science. In this time, the purpose of art has changed as well as artistic materials, techniques, relations with science and practices have changed. This is one of the developments in scientific perspective. The appearance of perspective, which reduces the appearance of objects to a flat surface in 3D, i.e. 2 Dimensions, to show a trace dream, starts with the application of the perspective rules of geometry, a branch of science, as a principle in the artistic field. The works made up until this period consisted of two-dimensional paintings made on a plane, yet unaware of the third dimension, and even though the third dimension has been made, there is no scientific basis. After a long period of time development in the perspective, the world has reached the most mature in the art of painting with Renaissance. The two-dimensional images on the plane first entered the depth adventure in the painting with the dimensions of the objects and then went to a higher stage with a color depth. Although not scientific, the linear perspective manifested itself with the artist’s individual skill on objects with raccoons, especially during the Renaissance period, the depth of the painting began to increase. In this study, the course of the figure in painting is discussed. Where the figures were in the cave paintings on the two-dimensional plane is where they are in the art of Renaissance.
