Abstract
It is known that the linear perspective was a significant invention of the European Renaissance, while the cavalier perspective which reverses the linear perspective vision has been applied in traditional Chinese painting for thousands of years. The divergence of perceiving spatiality between Chinese and European art formed in this age. Concerning the representation of space in images, the process of constructing different perspectives not only represents different spatial perception but also is inextricably linked to the correlation between space and time. The role that the cognition of ‘time’ and ‘space’ plays in culture formatting is a significant impetus for shaping different approaches to viewing the space of the world in Renaissance art and Chinese painting. The applications of linear and cavalier perspectives, therefore, appear as the artistic epitomes of the spatiotemporal conceptions in the Eastern and Western cultural contexts, which are affected by cosmology, epistemology, philosophy, religion, etc.
