sotto in sù
| In art, extreme foreshortening, usually in a ceiling painting. It is meant to give a convincing illusion of figures and objects in space when seen from below. It became a familiar feature of baroque painting. |
| It may have been invented in the 15th century by Francesco Melozzo da Forlì. |
