Summary/Abstract: The article shows examples of paintings by Botticelli, Frans Hals and Delacroix, representatives of different eras and styles in the fine arts, in which the authors have made similar inconsistencies. Regardless of the reasons that led to these discrepancies in the spatial positioning of the longitudinal axes of the eyes, this in no way affects the aesthetic appearance, nor does it take away from the beauty of the works of the three world-famous artists.We cannot be sure of the reasons why the artist makes mistakes of this nature - and not once, but we must admit that in other cases he follows the rules of anatomically correct construction of the head.However, it turns out from art history that there are other examples of world-famous artists who make positional-spatial errors of the same nature in their works.
