So, maybe it was just me that had never heard of this before or knew much about it, but the art of Trompe l'oeil has has been around for quite some time. They think the first practice of it was around 500 BC, but become popular during the 15th century.
If you're like me and haven't ever heard of Trompe l'oeil, then what your looking at in these images is just paint and a canvas. The 3d effect is created by the use of light and shadows and the word Trompe l'oeil actually means visual deception or eye trickery. I thought these were really amazing and the second painting is actually from the Sistine Chapel, where Michaelangelo painted several.
