The Vanishing Point is <u>still positioned in the center of the canvas</u>.
Explanation:
The Vanishing Point is where all the parallel lines converge in a horizon line. This technique gives the painting a three-dimensional perspective. In the case of The School of Athens, which uses both perspectives elements (one-point and two-point), all the parallel lines are still converging to the center. A Vanishing Point, when used correctly, has the task to guide the eye to an important point. In this case, Raphael guides us to Plato and Aristotle, who is in the center of the canvas. There, all the lines converge, is how if they were the primordial elements on the painting, and where from the canvas is designed.
... the Vanishing Point is still positioned in the center of the canvas.
Explanation:
We can note in the work The School of Athens by Rafael Sanzio the precision of geometric symmetry in the study exposed. See how polygons are concentric, tapering the vision to the most centralized point, the so-called vanishing point, which has a considerable effect on the perspective of overlapping planes in which the characters are symmetrically arranged: a foreground, more frontal , and below the half frame line; a higher background, where the main characters of the painting are placed in the sense of concentricity; a higher and more abstract third plane to infinity.
