Research conducted in Poland (in its current borders), according to the author, do not confirm this thesis. They show that our artists, most commonly used ready-made patterns from perspective tractates and pattern books, but most of all from tractate by unquestionable master of this kind of painting, the Italian Andre Pozzo (1642‒1709). The article it also presents the connection with selected paintings in Poland With baroque tractates and pattern books.
