Trompe l'oeil

An artistic device that creates an optical illusion generally achieved by painting on a two-dimensional surface in perspective to suggest a three-dimensional reality that is in fact not there. The technique is documented back to the Greeks and was adopted by the French in the 17th Century coining it trompe l'oeil, or "'deceive the eye".
