B. paint three-dimensional images on a flat surface.
Linear perspective is a technique that allows artists to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface, such as a canvas. It works by using a vanishing point and converging lines to create the illusion of depth and distance in a painting. This technique was first developed during the Renaissance and allowed artists to create more realistic and lifelike images on a flat surface.
