The sense of sight, and other eye-fooling items inserted into this trompe l'oeil letter rack in 1704 by Evert Collier, who tells us he's in Leiden now. He was born OTD in 1642.

Un trompe-l’œil réussi, sans dénaturer le patrimoine.

Castelnaud, perché sur son éperon rocheux, accueille un trompe-l’œil géant sur ses remparts. On y voit des attaquants escalader le mur à l’échelle, inspirés d’enluminures du XVe siècle et agrandis à taille réelle.
Un trompe-l’œil du château de Castelnaud.

2/2 Her Majesty's Speech to Parliament. The smell. Political & sensory trompe l'oeil from Edward Collier in London, never ceases to be relevant.

🖼️ Des raisins qui trompent les oiseaux, des murs qui se font passer pour des jardins et des plats qui nous surprennent : connaissez-vous l'histoire du trompe-l'œil, un genre artistique qui brouille les frontières entre l'art et la réalité ?

« Attention les médias d'extrême droite là.
Soyez sages, sinon l'Arcom va venir vous faire pan pan cucul ! »
J'en peux plus de ces institutions guignolesques qui servent de trompe l'œil à la République.
Arcom, IGPN, même combat.

Fascinée par cette porte qui ressemble à un trompe l'œil alors que non.
#Bansky-ish
Porte de chantier en métal, sur une cloison blanche provisoire. Elle a été peinte à la bombe et cela donne un effet bizarre, comme s'il s'agissait d'un dessin et d'une porte en trompe l'œil, sauf que pas du tout.

Bon dia! Un trompe-l'œil (o enganyalull) és una tècnica pictòrica que crea il·lusions òptiques fent que superficies planes semblin tridimensionals. Ho fa amb ombres, perspectives i detalls realistes. Enganya el cervell i transforma murs en formes o espais que no existeixen.

Moses' arms grow heavy as he prays for the victory of the Israelites over the Amalecites, 1735, etched by #CatharinaSperlingHeckel (German, 1699-1741). Held by the Wellcome Collection, wellcomecollection.org/works/vp4bk3... #womenartists #artherstory
An etching depicting a wilderness landscape, with three human figures on an outcropping of rock, high above a battle scene below. The middle figure kneels on both knees. The two other men, one on either side of the middle figure, each kneel on one knee, and each holds up one arm of the man between them. The artwork includes a drawn trompe l’oeil frame embellished with items relating to war, such as horns, shields, and an arrow quiver. Across the top of this drawn frame is an anatomical depiction of a human arm in isolation. The description on the object’s webpage reads, “The seventeenth chapter of Exodus tells us how Moses had to sustain a position of prayer with outstretched hands for as long as the battle with the Amalekites lasted in order to gain victory; after a while he needed assistance from Aaron and Hur, as depicted here. The relevant text of 'Physique sacrée' explains physiologically the stress Moses put on his arms, with the aid of the diagram of an arm at the top of the frame, labelled A to E. It explains how the muscles would tire and the blood would cease to circulate. It then points out the anatomy of the arm: "l'infraspinctus ou le sous-épinaux A le supraspinctus ou le sus-épinaux B le Deltoïde C le Biceps D le Brachial interne E & le Coracobrachial" (p. 116).”

I know this is hyperspecific but this little trompe l’œil “torn away” patch in the shape of their triangular logo on this Prada jacket from their fall 2026 collection is so hot.

On the back of a rain jacket a fake torn away patch (revealing a plaid pattern) in the shape of the triangular Prada logo (& where they would often put a little metal label) 🥵

Et c'est dans cette situation de mise en déficit volontaire des universités que le ministre ouvre des "assises du financement", en trompe l’œil, puisque sa lettre de cadrage interdit d'emblée d'aborder les sujets importants, et limite les conclusions à une seule solution : les frais d'inscription.

Ce 9 janvier 2026, le ministère de l’enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l’espace a initié les « Assises du financement des universités ». Cette annonce interroge par son inti…

Cette hausse de 3.1% n’est qu’un « trompe l’œil » puisqu’en réalité c’est un plancher auquel il faudra ajouter les hausses des assurances, des taxes foncières et un 5% pour tout travail d’entretien de l’immeuble. Les locataires n’ont pas de répit, ils continuent à s’appauvrir, des vaches à lait!

Behangselschildering met bacchante
https://botfrens.com/collections/216/contents/1003631
Trompe l'oeil: een witmarmeren sculptuur in een bruin gemarmerde nis. Boven de nissen zijn voorstellingen eveneens in trompe l'oeil weergegeven, in grisaille op zwart fond. Bacchante met een hond en een schaal met druiven, haar voet rust op een mand met munten. De bacchante rust tegen een boomstam. De nis is versierd met een klimoptak. Het fries stelt de musische kunsten voor: dans and muziek. Links ligt een amfoor op de grond.

Butterfly and Cat — CHEONE in Nerviano, Italy
A photorealistic gray cat lies within a painted 3D frame, watching a butterfly hover above. The precision of shadows and the orange contrast create a striking trompe-l’œil effect.

This image is a painting titled Acrobaties 2 by the Franco-Canadian artist Marina Dieul. The work is part of a series of "trompe l'oeil" (trick of the eye) paintings where she depicts mice as if they are interacting with the picture frame or matting.

#showmeyourknits this week the theme is ‘Hands’. So here are the Trompe-l'œil ‘hands’ I knitted myself a few years ago. I don’t wear a lot of rings & until recently I rarely had ‘nice’ nails - these gloves though - - they have the works ! See Alt Text 4 details #handknit #handknittedgloves #gloves
My left hand - modelling a glove, white painted brick wall as the background. Somewhat spooky as the glove is made to look like a hand. Hand knitted in 4ply (sock wt) wool in a pretty pink for the ‘skin’ (I am Caucasian) - there are: Scarlet red ‘fingernails’ (intarsia & embroidery) Lots of ‘rings’ (embroidery in metallic threads and beads etc as ‘jewels’ ) A watch (the band is black Icord - the watch itself is a real vintage one that no longer works And A collection of thinish purple ‘bangles’ - 6 of them (Icord - some bangles are beaded). The pink glove part was adapted from a vintage knitting pattern. My right hand - modelling a glove, white painted brick wall as the background. Somewhat spooky as the glove is made to look like a hand. Hand knitted in 4ply (sock wt) wool in a pretty pink for the ‘skin’ (I am Caucasian) - there are: Scarlet red ‘fingernails’ (intarsia & embroidery) Lots of ‘rings’ - every digit has at least one! (embroidery in metallic threads and beads etc as ‘jewels’ ) And 2 wide bangles - in knitting. One is a lime green with pretty aqua green over the top in a lattice pattern (a fancy knitting stitch) - I thought it might look like jade. The other is red and an elaborate cable pattern - it’s supposed to be a ‘cinnabar’ bracelet. The pink glove part was adapted from a vintage knitting pattern. Both of my hands - modelling the pair of Trompe-l'œil gloves against a white painted brick wall. Somewhat spooky as the gloves are made to look like a hands - naked, ungloved hands. Hand knitted in 4ply (sock wt) wool in a pretty pink for the ‘skin’ (I am Caucasian) - there are: Scarlet red ‘fingernails’ (intarsia & embroidery) Lots of ‘rings’ (embroidery in metallic threads and beads etc as ‘jewels’ ) A watch (the band is black Icord - the watch itself is a real vintage one that no longer works) And Lots of (knitted) bangles/bracelets. The pink glove part was adapted from a vintage knitting pattern.
