This work is a treatise on optical illusions and anamorphic perspectives, written by Nicéron, a monk of the order of Minims and mathematician of the 17th century.

La Perspective Curieuse is a major work in the history of visual perception and art, influencing both artists and scientists of its time.
The discussion in the fourth part is particularly famous for being the first reference to the law of refraction developed by Descartes that same year.
