This painting, Apollo and Marsyas, by Perugino depicts a scene that obviously takes place in an 3-dimensional space. The hills get bluer and bluer as they recede into the horizon (a la one point perspective). Also, the trees and the birds (which presumably are the same size in real life) appear smaller and smaller as they get further and further away, while the two figures are evidently in the foreground. The castle in the midground is interpreted not as a toy castle, but as a true to size castle simply very far away.
