History of Trick Eye: Although ‘Trompe-l’oeil, the word that Trick Eye derived from, came into popular use around the 17th century, the technique has roots in both the ancient Greek and Roman periods. In ancient cities such as Pompeii, several murals were founded with painted doors, windows and hallways, which suggest a wider spatial effect. With the fall of the Roman Empire, the Trompe-l’oeil style was also disappeared into history. The discovery of perspective in the 14th century, however, triggered the re-emergence of optical illusion in paintings in both art and architecture. It was only in the 18th century, however, that the term Trompe-l’oeil came into use. As surprisingly realistic still life paintings gained popularity among 17th century French courts and wealthy families, the arty term Trompe-l’oeil came to be widely used.

Today Trompe-l’oeil is indeed at the center of attention for its aesthetic effects and educational values and is seen in a vast array of areas: fine art, architecture and fashion design to name but a few.
