The Art of Fooling the Eye (2011)
- borkabrak 12y agoInteresting all around, for discussion of a technique I haven't been fully aware of before. The mention of the depiction of lettered documents caused me some pensive ruminations on the fine detail involved in painting typefaces.
- NAFV_P 12y agoThe article mentions 'The Ambassadors' by Hans Holbein The Younger. Around 15 years ago it received some restoration, to replace the restoration work believed to be performed in the 19th Century. Until the recent work was completed the skull image was actually incorrect and the illusion did not work properly. But then again I'm not surprised, Holbein's portrait sketches show every individual hair on a subject's head.
