Huge Window "Trompe Romp"
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
IT'S ALL JUST PAINT ON A WALL!
CLICK on image to look close.
At the bottom of my photo you can see the outdoor ceiling of the first story of a big old building. Everything above that is just paint on a blank, second-story wall. I have unskewed my photo, so that the viewer (you) seems to be looking directly AT the painted image, rather than UP at it.
My photo is a partial view of a huge (400 sq. meter) trompe l'oeil (optical illusion) painting.
The painting is meant to be a look into the past. Decades ago, the building housed a grand multi-story department store, "The Globe" (or Globus). The 1990 painting is a bit faded now.
Alsace, France is replete with all kinds of trompe l'oeil (optical illusion) paintings. I have put a number of examples in my photo stream. Many of them are in my album, Dan's Windows.
Location: Mulhouse, Alsace FR.
In my album: Dan's Windows.
