10. In the linear perspective system, the point at which the othogonals, if extended, would intersect. (see p. 507)

11. The converging lines that meet at the vanishing point in the system of linear perspective.

4. A painting or relief, usually an altarpiece, composed of more than three sections.

8. A monochromatic painting (usually in shades of black and gray, to simulate stone sculpture).
