Thread on the beauty of Trompe-l'œil 🧵

1. This gate in Vienna masterfully tricks the eye Image
2. The ceiling that you see reflected in this mirror is entirely flat.

This masterpiece was made to appear "3D" by the great Andrea Pozzo, who painted the grandiose fresco in 1685.

It is located in the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola in Rome.

3. This playful ceiling by Andrea Mantegna features an oculus that illusionistically opens to a blue sky.

Painted in "di sotto in sù," the scene creates the illusion of real space above.

It decorates the Spouses Chamber in the Castle of San Giorgio, Mantua. Image
