Trompe l’oeil is French for tricking the eye,creating visual illusions with paint,it is a study of light and shadow using architecture and other means to give the impression of depth or distance.
For example a door opening onto a hidden scene which immediately gives the impression of extended space and a sense of mystery and curiosity at what is happening beyond that door.
On the wall above a door has been
painted with false handrails, and the plaster is made to
look as if it has been chipped off the wall to reveal a
"practice run" for the Sistene chapel.
