The trompe-l'œil was painted by local artist Richard Campana in a building in Boulevard Longchamp, just across the road from the Palais Longchamp, a monument which houses the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Fine Arts, as well as a beautiful garden and fountains.

...art on a grand scale!
ReplyDeleteReally grand! Thanks Tom.
DeleteThe drawing is a real work of art. And I also like the illusion that it comes off slightly from the surface of the wall, with the shadow projected on it. A very nice find!

DeleteMuito bom este mural uma verdadeira obra de arte.

DeleteI think that the French perfected the whole genre of urban murals before anyone even thought of it. And I remember seeing trompe-l'oeil painted on the doors of cupboards by impecunious impressionists who imagined the food inside.
ReplyDeleteTroupe l'oeil used to be very popular, now you don't see many. Thanks David.
DeleteIt's tres chic for sure!
