Illusion of depth can be achieved by many design devices including “perspective.”

In one-point perspective, lines converge at one point on the horizon called the Vanishing Point or V.P.

In Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, the vanishing point is at Christ’s head. What does this do to the viewer’s perception?

In two point perspective, lines converge at two points on the Horizon: Right vanishing Point and Left Vanishing Point.

One of the most important ways that painters and photographers suggest depth is with atmospheric or aerial perspective. By decreasing the saturation of colors and making edges less distinct for objects at a distance, we can create the impression of great depth and space.

It is important that value contrast, color intensity as well as clarity of definition diminish as you look further away into the distance.

Varying size and scale of objects also creates depth.

Overlapping objects is yet another device used to represent space by showing the different scale of objects. In this image, figures overlap and diminish in size to illustrate depth.

You can also utilize perspective and overlapping to indicate Vantage Point.

By altering the logic of perception, artists often make their point. A Cubist’s work like this has multiple points of view. This is said to be due to Cubism’s fascination with the scientific theory of space time continuum. What else does this kind of composition do?

DiptychThe diptych was a common format in Early Netherlandish painting and depicted subjects ranging from secular portraiture to religious personages and stories. Often a portrait and a Madonna and Child had a leaf each. It was especially popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. Painters such as Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling and Hugo van der Goes used the form. Some modern artists have used the term in the title of works consisting of two paintings never actually connected, but intended to be hung close together as a pair, such as Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych, (1962)[5] a modern pop culture icon. -Wikipedia

The work became famous as being the most expensive photograph in the world when it was auctioned at Sotheby's on February 7 in 2007 for a price of US$3.34 million. Another auction in New York in May 2006 fetched $2.25 million for a second print, and a third print sold for $2.48 million in November 2006 at a New York gallery. - WikipediaAndreas Gursky, 99 Cent II
