trompe l'oeil; optical illusion painting
Refers to a painting or drawing technique that creates a realistic optical illusion, making the depicted object appear three-dimensional or real.
This trompe l'oeil painting makes it look like there is a hole in the wall.
I saw an exhibition of trompe l'oeil paintings at the art museum.
Common mixed kanji-kana spelling; the kana portion makes the reading unambiguous.
Full kanji spelling; the kanji 騙 is not a jōyō kanji, so this form is less common in everyday writing.
Formed from 騙し, the nominal form of 騙す “deceive, trick,” and 絵 “picture”: a picture designed to deceive the eye.
