This nomination has a handful of minor issues. QPQ complete, content of article, length, and newness all good. Issues arise with the hook itself. Grammatically, it is unclear what type of perspective is being discussed, and that should be linked both in the article and in the hook. Additionally, I would recommend altering the hook to read something like "wrote books on the topics of perspective and fortifications?" As it is, the hook is a little bit of a jumble. Great article, good job on sourcing. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:16, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review and your suggestions! I have linked Perspective (graphical) in the article.

@Pbritti: I have added a few slight variations on the hook; do you think any of them is suitable? —Kusma (talk) 09:39, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All of these hooks are fantastic. I especially like the first and recommend that one for the front page! ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:58, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
