Good day reader,


Trompe loeuil is a painting technique that aims to be deceptively realistic. The phrase is French and means literally cheat the eye”.

In general, it is used in still lifes, but also in mural paintings, to suggest, for example, the presence of pillars or statuesAll contributions are very welcome. 

The aim is this blog is to show as many locations and images as possible. All contributions are very welcome. Noteverything can be posted, but we want pictures in the first place, so please mail as many as possible, with relevant info like the location.
