Визначення та Значення "illusionistic ceiling painting"

What is "illusionistic ceiling painting"?

Illusionistic ceiling painting is a technique used to create the appearance of three-dimensional space or architectural features on a flat ceiling surface. By using detailed and realistic imagery, artists can make the ceiling look like it has architectural elements such as windows or intricate designs that are not actually there. This technique aims to trick the viewer's eye into seeing depth and complexity that is not physically present, often resulting in dramatic and visually interesting effects. Illusionistic ceiling painting is particularly associated with Baroque and Renaissance art, where it was used to improve the impressiveness of places.
