The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- When the set of parallel lines is perpendicular to a picture plane, the construction is known as one-point perspective, and their vanishing point corresponds to the oculus, or "eye point", from which the image should be viewed for correct perspective geometry.
- Traditional linear drawings use objects with one to three sets of parallels, defining one to three vanishing points.
- Italian humanist polymath and architect Leon Battista Alberti first introduced the concept in his treatise on perspective in art, De pictura, written in 1435.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Vanishing point article was read about 45,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
