Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the fundamental theories which established a paradigm shift in the contemporary pictorial representation between the 19th century and the 20th century. Naturalism and the hegemony of mathematic perspective from its origins in the Renaissance period were displaced by several pictorial values based on a great range of different theories. The value on empirical analysis of light and colour, as well as the new theories about the presumption in favour of the reality of the fourth dimension, were represented in painting, scientific literature and philosophical literature from the 18th century onwards, which sets up new possibilities of representation of space in painting in a specific way: non-referential. We conclude analysing a specific typical case: Magritte’s artworks, in which the principles of perspective are employed to evidence the artificiality and conventionalism of the system of representation.
