Geometry of The Flagellation
The diagonal AE of that square passes through the V, vanishing point of perspective.
Further, in square ATVK we see that arc KT from A cuts the diagonal at Christ's head, F, halfway up the painting. Thus Christ's head is at the center of the original square
ASED.

LAST SUPPER-RESTORED
First to depict acting as real people
Greatest ex. Of one point perspective – all lines to Jesus head
Looking across the picture from left to right:
• Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.
• Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.
• Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.
• Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.
• Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.
Castagno 1445-50Architecture has a strangely oppressive effect on the figures
B/c perspective was devised before diners painted
