The Durer Grid

The Durer Grid. An ancient master, print maker Albrecht Durer used a grid to accurately depict the subject of his plates.
Durer partitioned the picture plane into distinct and separate areas so that he could focus on local proportions and lines.

Here's a nice video featuring a good selection of Durer's work.
