Illusionism

Tromp l’oiel = fool the eye; tricks the viewer into perceiving that the actual objects represented are in fact there; usually a still-life painting, sometimes also used in murals (French, TROM-PLOY)

Page 8: Texture

William Harnett, The Faithful Colt, 1890

Usually a very smooth surface to heighten the illusion – no evident brush strokes
