About Trick Eye

The name Trick Eye is short for ‘Trick of the Eye’ which refers to an art technique that turns two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional images through the use of optical illusions. Although its history dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, the arty term Trompe-l’oeil (French for deceive the eye) only came into use during the Baroque period.

History of Trick Eye

The discovery of perspective in the 14th century triggered the emergence of a wider range of elaborate, visual manipulations in painting and architecture. Trompe-l’oeil, a visual art technique that tricks the eye by creating an optical illusion, came into fashion as realistic illusionary portraits gained popularity among 17th century French court and social elites. The technique has its roots in both ancient Greece and Rome, where in olden cities such as Pompeii, several murals comprised painted doors, windows and hallways to create a wider spatial effect. The story of ancient Greek painter Zeuxis and his rival Parrhasius is perhaps one of the most quoted examples when explaining Trompe-l’eoil.
