This book aims to present trompe-l'oeil painting, which epitomizes
the myth of the illusionistic image - an early modern way of
thinking about pictures, according to which it is possible to
create an image identical to what it represents that at the same
time preserves its own pictorial identity. Trompe-l'oeil, despite
being a marginal genre, embodied an ideal that painting should
attain, and therefore is a good point of departure for analyzing
issues such as (aesthetic) illusion in art. As the myth undermines
Plato's aesthetics, it is his philosophy of art, with its
dichotomies of appearance/reality or mimesis/diegesis that offers
the most useful context for the discussion of this topic and shows
that trompe-l'oeil is a playful and ironic genre, which has
cognitive value as well.
