Question 10 • FL-0100310-Introduction to Art History

What is atmospheric perspective?

Answer
A
The effect produced by rounding objects to appear three-dimensional.
B
The effect produced by techniques that make objects appear to go back into the distance, creating a realistic look.
C
The effect produced by diffusion of light in the atmosphere whereby more distant objects have less clarity of outline and are lighter in tone.

Explanation

Atmospheric perspective occurs because light is diffused as it travels through the atmosphere. As a result, distant objects appear lighter and less clearly defined than nearby objects. Choice C describes this effect; choice B is a broader description of techniques for creating depth.
