Trompe-l’oeil: when art plays with the viewer

A fascinating and hyper playful exhibition where illusion is permanent. Ideal for kids who will love to find out what’s true and what’s fake

  • The exhibition “Trompe-l’oeil from 1520 to the present day” at the Musée Marmottan Monet in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, traces the history of this extraordinary artistic technique from 80 works on loan from the greatest international museums
  • Dating back to antiquity, it is an art that has been practiced for centuries and consists of painting or sculpting objects in such a realistic way that they could be mistaken for real objects
  • The exhibition begins in the Renaissance, and unfolds 500 years of evolution of an ingenious technique invented to deceive the senses of the public. We meet Boilly, Füssli, Battersby and many others…
  • The panorama is amazing as you discover the rooms: folded letters, broken windows, unrolled ribbon, everything is there to deceive the viewer’s eye! Illusions of objects in painting, but also sculptures, architectures and the astonishing art of clothing camouflage
  • Decorative art is one of the most amusing examples: tureens in the shape of cabbages, salads, squash, plates filled with olives and other fruits and vegetables or terrines in the shape of animals!
  • Centuries of the image, the 20th and 21st centuries are not forgotten with the illusion of arte Povera. We discover works by Pistoletto, Giuseppe Penone and Daniel Spoerri
  • Then! Where is the true and the false?
