Original – This Tromp-l'oeil still-life represent the backside of a painting or canvas used as a letter-rack with leather strips where various objects are are stored. An art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. (from article)
Nowadays we usually see Tromp-l'oeil paintings like these painted windows, that actually are not there, just painted for fun.


Reason
Samuel Dirksz van Hoogstraten (1627–1678) was a rather fascinating Dutch painter of the Golden Age, who was also a poet and author on art theory. He was skilled in painting Tromp-l'oeil paintings - or so called Cheat the eye - still-lifes. Those are paintings made in the way to create an optical illusion - giving the impression that the depicted objects actually exist in three dimensions. Citation:

  • Support - A very good example of trompe l'oeil. (I think "Trick the eye" sounds better than "Cheat the eye" as a translation, but that's a separate and not very important issue.) This genre is in a way very modern -- illustrating the idea that one's possessions give clues to one's life, interests and personality. CorinneSD (talk) 00:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
