Pranks of Masters of Painting. Deceive Your Eyes.

(multilingual subtitles & music) "Trompe l’oeil" is a painting technique that creates the illusion that the object depicted by the artist on a plane is in three-dimensional space. In fact, the object is drawn in a two-dimensional plane.
The painters gave to the object depicted on a flat canvas the illusion of volume, three-dimensionality. This illusion for some time was confuseing people looking at the picture. This trend has become fashionable in the visual arts of that era. "Trompe l’oeil" was a favorite entertainment for connoisseurs of painting.
Among painters who reached high skill of creating illusion paintings were Samuel van Hoogstraten and Cornelis Norbertus Gysbrechts.
