Answer:

The atmospheric perspective is seen in the way the painter uses mantillas and trees to convey the sense of depth and immersion in "The Tribute Money".

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmospheric and linear perspectives are very important to establish the way we see the paintings and understand them. The linear perspective refers to the size of the objects, in the paintings, in relation to the size they present in relation to the distance between the object and the observer. However, the atmospheric perspective is much more difficult to establish and refers to the depth and immersion that the image represents in relation to the play of light and shadows, in addition to the size of the objects.

In "The Tribute Money" the game between the distance and the colors used in the scenery between a building with mountains and trees in the background, establishes an atmospheric perspective, imposing an immersion and depth in the observer's perception.
