Trompe-l'oeil plafond met mythologische voorstelling 1712

"Trompe-l'oeil plafond met mythologische voorstelling" is an etching by Daniël (I) Marot, a prominent Dutch architect and designer, from 1712. The intricate design depicts a ceiling adorned with mythological figures and ornate architectural details, creating a convincing illusion of depth and grandeur. This Trompe-l'oeil technique, common in the Baroque period, aimed to trick the viewer's eye into perceiving a three-dimensional space within a two-dimensional medium. The work is held at the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Marot's mastery of architectural drawing and the visual trends of his time.
