		Frescoes painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti from 1338 to 1339 in the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) in Siena, portray 14th-century city and country life, and in the hall's Council Chamber, an equestrian portrait (1328) of a local military hero painted by Simone Martini, is set against a backdrop of his encampment in landscape background.
		Painted during the last years of his life, these studies are the result of Cézanne's attempt to render the colour and volume of a mountain seen from a distance.
		Painting itself came under attack by the late 1960s both on political grounds (it was a precious luxury object) and philosophical ones (that the essence of art was an idea rather than a medium).

	Surrealism
		Illusionistic surrealism included the work of Salvador Dali of Spain, Max Ernst of Germany, Yves Tanguy of France, and Paul Delvaux and Rene Magritte of Belgium.
		There is a theatrical flavor to these works, particularly in Dali's paintings, where watches droop and a jellyfish walks on the land.
		The illusionistic surrealists hoped that by demonstrating the absurdity they saw in worldly existence they could awaken others to the irrational within themselves.

	Baroque illusionistic painting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The complex and ambitious Italian tradition of illusionistic painting applied the Renaissance confidence in handling perspective to projects for ceilings and overcame the problems of applying linear perspective to the concave surfaces of domes in order to dissolve the architecture and create illusions of limitless space.
		Painted and patterned ceilings were a Gothic tradition in Italy as elsewhere; but the first ceiling painted to feign open space, was created by Andrea Mantegna, a master of perspective who went to Mantua as court painter to the Gonzaga.
		This was the prototype of illusionistic ceiling painting that was to become an important element of Italian baroque.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.08.32
		The photographs undermine the thrust of the both introductory essays, for in very few instances are we seeing the wall paintings in their architectural contexts and rarely as an ancient Roman would: under varying conditions of light; screened by furniture, plants, tapestries, and human beings; seen in passing; contemplated from a banquet couch.
		The paradeisos paintings at Pompeii (e.g., the garden of the House of Lucretius Fronto; the viridarium of the House of the Ceii) properly represent -- in fresco -- a wild animal park of the kind Hellenistic dynasts (and the Roman élite) could afford.
		Paintings whose subject is the garden replete with plants and birds have a quite different resonance, as the work of Wilhelmina Jashemsky and others has amply demonstrated.

	The Pictorial Field
		Starting in the Renaissance, when oil painting began, the artist's goal generally was to deny the flatness of the pictorial field on which he or she painted.
		Through the use of such devices as relatively smooth painting techniques, (which did not emphasize the material surface of paint on the canvas,) perspective, foreshortening and so on, the artist strove to create a picture which was like a window into a world created through illusion.
		Even though there may be an image of a landscape, the thickness of paint, the artist's marks on the surface, the type of color used and the nature of the space developed compel us never to forget that the painting is a thing-an object-not a window into another world.

		Doolin recalls that exterior acrylic paints were new to the market, and their bright and wild 1960s color combinations were reflected in the city's buildings.
		For the large paintings, where he was working from studies and photographs, the relationship between forms was crucial and he reorganized the components into a highly structured, theatrical space.
		This is the painting that he went to the desert to paint.

		Trompe l'oeil is French for "fool the eye." It is a type of painting in which the artist paints in a meticulous, exacting manner and employs visual tricks in order to manipulate the viewer into thinking that the illusion before the eyes is actually real.
		There is a painting of a presumably nude Venus, but all we see of her are her hands pulling up her long, flowing locks and her delicate feet, because Peale has chastely covered her with a starched white hanky.
		While illusionistic painting has not generally been regarded highly by art critics in our age of multi-media and conceptual art, it nonetheless remains popular with the public.

		Most xenia, including the painting of the bowl of fruit shown earlier in the exhibition, were probably intended to deceive, although their faded and cracked condition now dispels any illusion.
		painting of a sword from the tomb of a cavalryman in southern Italy (no. 47) is among the oldest surviving representations of an object suspended from a trompe l'oeil nail.
		Paintings of fictive niches filled with "sculpted" figures also reflect the debate that arose in the Renaissance over the relative merits of painting and sculpture.

	Mantova, Italy - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Mantegna was probably born at Isola di Carturo, between Vicenza and Padua (Padova), and became the apprentice and adopted son of the painter Francesco Squarcione of Padua.
		This was the prototype of illusionistic ceiling painting and was to become an important element of baroque and rococo art.
		Mannerist painting is characterized by the use of attenuated figures in exaggerated postures (plastically rendered, nevertheless); the unrealistic treatment of space, often for dramatic effect; and often a seemingly arbitrary choice of thin, discordant, often acid colors.

	Painting in Three Dimensions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Painting is far from dead, but if it is to continue to be a vital component in the arts, if it is to continue to evolve, then painting must be taken to new dimensions.
		I have taken this as literally as possible in my three-dimensional relief paintings, the development of which are integrally connected to two-dimensional contour and illusionistic painting devices.
		Traditionally it has been recognized as a form of sculpture, however the concept of relief is primarily pictorial because relief, like painting or drawing, is founded on the emergence of an image from a flat surface.

		For instance, a painting by Titian, in one of the first galleries, is a portrait of a Pope.
		The initial fascination with illusionistic painting derived from a desire by Renaissance artists to emulate the ancient painters of Greece and Rome; hence the mosaics from Pompeii in the exhibition’s antechamber.

		These paintings are painted in acrylic paint that is applied primarily with an airbrush.
		All the paintings feature some sort of visual paradox: a blue sky with a window in it, a wall composed of a sky, a midday scene with an evening sunset in it or basic shaped objects who sometime find it hard to stay confined to their two-dimensional realm.
		Many of my paintings are laden with visual jokes, such as, does a particular painting represent a moment caught in time within a wall-like boundary, or is it just a spatial form representing a static object such as a wall or sphere.

		That can be macho also: Sultan has painted blast furnaces and other industrial landscapes, fires and disasters -- but in the recent painting there are traditional still-life elements -- oranges, lemons, flowers and ornate vases: dainty subject matter of the kind that in the nineteenth century was associated with female artists.
		Viewers confronted with this particular painting in the original (rather than in the reduced scale of a catalogue reproduction) have sometimes failed to recognize the subject at all.
		Sultan’s button, tightly bound to the plane, is insistently a painting in spite of its actual three-dimensionality, and its giant size, coupled with a suit of solemn fl, does not encourage a smile.

	Gregorio de Ferrari - AMAM
		The focus of the drawing is not on the illusionistic vault, which is only partially rendered at the top of the sheet, but on the narrow space between the upper wall and the lower zone of the vault.
		To improve upon the illusionistic means of his predecessors, however, Ferrari opened up the entire vault to the heavens, and gave the vault a greater sense of spaciousness by clustering the figures around the edges.
		Although quadratura painters often collaborated with figural specialists in creating elaborate frescoes for palaces and churches during this period in Italy, the Oberlin drawing indicates that Ferrari alone was responsible for both the architectural and figural composition of the executed work.

	Ana Maria Rezk - About the artist
		She has devoted herself to painting since early 1990, her work varies by circumstance; the materials used (acrylic and mixed media) allows her to manipulate colour, light and shape of her inmediate sourroundings, both environmental and emotionally.
		The result is a painting that is an abstraction carrying along with it, a unique view of reality.
		The visual rhythms in the spots of the landscape are an infinite source of inspiration, changing with each subtle shift in light and weather, these spots intrigue her as a subject on many levels - as connections between people and places, as pure forms and as a metaphor for the interconnected nature of life.

		She was tireless in her attempts to investigate the structural underpinnings of painting, mostly in portraiture.
		She penetrated the mystery of the surface of the oil painting, and by so doing she secured that crucial moment in illusionistic painting that engages, and then encourages the viewer to contemplate the subject matter.

	Prized Writing, Trevor Hunt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Italian painted ceilings constitute one of the most complex and ambitious artistic traditions in the history of art.
		As Kren and Marx point out in describing Plate 2, “Instead of ‘stories,’ Giotto painted two views of the interiors of what appear to be sacristies or a choir, in perfect perspective.” The flat wall seems to recede into space, as if the chapel continues out into a Gothic window.
		Here, Correggio uses a similar motif as he did in the cupola fresco (that is, religious figures spiraling and floating away from the ceiling in a blur of clouds and light) and the dome, along with the material world we know, seems to dissolve into a fantastic and exciting alternate world.

		In order to remember him, and perhaps to magically fix his image to ensure his return, she draws the outline of his profile by copying the contours of his shadow that is cast by lamplight on the wall behind him.
		Thus painting is born, out of love, by a woman and dependent on the shadow.
		The energetic way in which the paint is applied and their compositional importance testifies to the archetype’s power.

		Painted onto each disk was a pattern of green globule shapes.
