Figure 20.

Painters often depict distant objects as larger than than in a comparable wide-angle linear perspective (Pepperell & Haertel, 2014). (a) High Street, Oxford, by J. M. W. Turner, painted in 1810. (b) A composite photograph of Oxford High Street, made to replicate Turner’s view, depicts distant towers much smaller than Turner did. (c) One of the source photographs for this picture. Two photographs were taken with a tilt-shift lens ($17\mathrm{mm}$) to keep vertical lines vertical. The two photos were stitched vertically, warped by an affine transformation to better match Turner’s viewpoint, touched-up to remove clouds and street signs, and color-adjusted. This picture, from a slightly different viewpoint than the two main source photos, was used to fill holes caused by the street signs. See Fisher (2024) for source photos and process.
