Shortening - foreshortening

Japanese: 短縮法 - たんしゅくほう(英語表記)foreshortening
Shortening - foreshortening
A type of perspective used primarily with the human body, rather than with architecture or landscapes. It depicts a standing or lying human body seen from the head or feet, with an extremely foreshortened form; Mantegna's Dead Christ (Brera Pinacoteca, Milan) is a good example.

Japanese:
遠近法の一種。建築や風景などに適用されたそれでなく,主として人体に用いられた場合をさす。立ち,あるいは横たわっている人体を頭から,あるいは足元から見てその極端に短縮された形を描くもので,マンテーニャの『死せるキリスト』 (ミラノ,ブレラ絵画館) はその好例。
