Double perspective triangles

Two triangles in double perspective are in triple perspective

Let $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ be in double perspective, which means that triples of lines $AF, BD, CE$ and $AD, BE, CF$ are concurrent. Prove that lines $AE, BF,$ and $CD$ are concurrent (the triangles are in triple perspective).

Proof

Denote $G = AF \cap BE.$

It is known that there is projective transformation that maps any quadrungle into square. We use this transformation for $BDFG$. We use the claim and get the result: lines $AE, BF,$ and $CD$ are concurrent.
