Brook Taylor (above) displays his book on Linear Perspective, in which, according to curators at the National Portrait Gallery in London, he offered the first general statement of vanishing points. "Although the formal mathematical style made it inaccessible to most artists, the work influenced later writers on the subject and it holds a prominent place in the history of perspective." Brook Taylor appeared here as a child prodigy receiving a laurel wreath from his siblings in a group portrait of The Children of John Taylor of Bifrons Park, painted about 1696 by John Closterman
