This article investigates the history of the art of memory the late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance in Italy and its bearing on the production of material images. After mapping the stages of the rediscovery of antique Roman techniques of images and places it examines the relation of these memory techniques to the transfor mation of pictorial space that takes place in mural painting at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. The mental habit of locating images into places leads to new awareness of the figurai interaction between architectural and pictorial space in turn responsible for such ensembles as the Higher Church of Assisi or Scro-vegni Chapel in Padua images and architecture are there combined to create region for memory resulting in pictorial plane with new spacious quality and allowing viewers to experience their surroundings as physical extension of mental space. This moment in the history of images is not primitive version of perspectiva artificialis but type of image with its own coherent set of principles explaining both the need for illusionistic space and its limits and accounting for the phantasti- cal quality of space in 14th century Italian painting.
