Exploring the fascinating history of trompe-l’œil — the art of illusion — the catalog presents a sweeping survey from the Renaissance through contemporary hyperrealism. Over 100 artworks are featured, from classic “quodlibet” compositions and illusionistic still lifes to striking modern works that blur the boundary between painting, photography, and installation.

The publication is organized not chronologically but thematically, to highlight the enduring continuity of this visual tradition. Key sections include:

  • Still Life as Staging

  • Figures, Frames and Limits

  • Hollows for the Curious

  • Fake Walls

  • Perfect Disorder

  • Call to the Senses

  • American Renewal and Its Wake

  • Modern Trompe-l’œil

With essays by leading scholars and curators including Mar Borobia, Guillermo Solana, Benito Navarrete Prieto, and Kristen Nassif, the catalog offers deep insight into the techniques, history, and cultural impact of this optical genre.

An elegant art book and research tool, this publication is perfect for lovers of visual trickery, realism, and the unexpected beauty of deception in art.
