I strongly agree.
> The distinctive feature of Piranesi’s perspective trick is that when you have a series of similar objects receding into the distance, such as houses or arches in a bridge, the nearer versions are just drawn as larger versions of those in the distance
This makes so much sense. When nature presents me with a series of identical arches, that is how I'm going to interpret them. Not as the geometric shapes that are actually projected onto the backs of my eyes.
