»Jean-Louis Déottes brillante Studie über die Epoche des perspektivischen Apparats – sein erstes und hoffentlich nicht letztes auf Deutsch erschienene Buch – liefert gleichsam das begriffliche Inventar, um diese bizarre Entente zwischen mittelalterlicher und moderner Kritik am Perspektivismus der Neuzeit genauer fassen zu können.«
