Trompe l’Oeil too
I’ve been posting about murals on every Monday for a while now and I’ve seen a lot of trompe l’oeil but there were a couple here on Web Urbanist that I had not seen before that I thought were interesting.
Like these. They are pretty phenomenal and wild.
This ceiling mural of trompe l’oeil putti is a classic, however, by Andrea Mantegna and the other ceiling is by Vasari and Zuccari in the Florence Duomo and the bottom, I sadly cannot remember from my Art History days.
This is wonderful, modern trompe l’oeil mural work by William Cochran, who I’ve written about before. I was lucky to take a workshop with him. This mural is at Frederick, Md’s Community Bridge in my area, so I’ll have to visit one day.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.

That bedroom mural is amazing! It looks sooo realistic, is the bed a part of the mural too or just everything else surrounding it? I used to spend a lot of time looking at trompe l’oeil online and it is so fascinating, I’m in awe of what they are able to do. I create illusions on the ceilings which looks awesome for what it is but I wish I could paint the trompe l’oeils like these people, maybe one day I will learn it.

Hi Ashley,
I noticed one of my murals on your site on the Trompe L’oeil page, thank you for liking it. If you would be so kind to add a link to my site I would really appreciate it. I would be happy to reciprocate.
Thank you,
Rik
