Trompe-l'œil



A beautiful picture isn't it ? Doesn't this look so real ?
This is actually a trompe l'oeil mural painted by the talented John Pugh.

Trompe-l'œil is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of being mere, two-dimensional paintings. The name is derived from French for "trick the eye", from tromper - to deceive and l'œil - the eye.

Amazing piece of art !!
