The earliest murals of trompe l'oeil art that exist can be found in the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum and have been dated back to the first century A.D. After becoming part of the rich culture of the Greek and Roman Empires, trompe l'oeil art all but disappeared during the Dark Ages, not to resurface until the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

My interest in t trompe l'oeil has re-emerged I have add a contemporary twist by giving the illusion of a ripped photographic fragment taped to the top of a blurry image of the same objects. I have been really excited about the idea of placing one image over the top of another and having the top image be a fragment of the first image.
