The painter Leon Battista Alberti insisted that mathematics was very important in painting in his famous book "Della Pittura(On Painting)" at 15th century. At the first part of the book, he explained about points, lines, and planes mathematically. And he emphasized that the proportion was very useful for accurate description of objects. This is the perspective that Alberti showed by using visual pyramid. In this paper, we investigate the Alberti' s method and the background of Alberti's perspective.
