Optical interpretation of diminishing and non diminishing of remote objects and their representation in painting landscape

Abstract: 

The geometry of painting landscape remains one of the long standing problems that cannot be explained theatrically. This work is devoted to use geometrical optics to explain this aspect. It utilizes eye geometry to explain why the horizon appears as an infinite line, and also explains why sky meat earth surface at a point. besides showing the reason that makes large mountains does not converge to a point far from human eye vision.
