This is Pisanello's "Vision of St. Eustace". Immediately ones eye is drawn to the animals in the painting, which are brightly colored and contrast with the dark background. The bright colors pop out at you, created the effect that they are in front of the back ground. Size of the animals of course also creates a sense of depth. We have many animals repeated in the back ground, getting smaller each time, which creates the illusion that they are further away than the large animals. There is no explicit vanishing point perspective here; yet, this seems to add to the gaudy nature of the painting. The man on the horse is dressed in ornate robes, and certainly the world around him seems to mirror his choice of attire by filling itself with bright animals.
