Abstract
There can be no doubt that Italian sources brought about the introduction of perspective constructions North of the Alps: a connection to Italy can be established for all of the early influential non-Italians who published works on perspective. However, we do not know much about the channels through which the knowledge of perspective spread. As was the case in Italy, the texts from the North do not allow us to follow a continuous development, but indicate that essential steps were taken in workshops, or other places, without being recorded.
