Trompe l'oeil

One of the most impressive, creative and beautiful forms of decorative painting is a technique called “Trompe l'oeil”. The basic idea of trompe l'oeil is that it is a realistic perspective. Trompe l'oeil is creating with paint the illusion of a 3-D scene on a wall or ceiling, for example, a “window” that is really a painting.
