Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of two main concepts of space in fine arts: renaissance and baroque. From Giotto to high renaissance artifact‘s space was created to situate recipient in front of the presented scene, as a »witness«. The baroque concept of space intensified the illusion – the space of illusion strives to envelope and involve the recipient, making him a »participant« of the presented sight.
