EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable trompe l'oeil painting by Conrad Manlich, dating back to 1740. The artist's attention to detail is truly astonishing in this oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 17.5x23.5 cm and currently held in a private collection. The composition features a wooden board adorned with various objects that seem so lifelike, they could easily deceive the viewer's eye. At the center of the arrangement lies a pair of spectacles, meticulously painted to mimic their three-dimensional form. Perched delicately atop these glasses is an enchanting goldfinch, its vibrant feathers adding a burst of color to the scene. Manlich's skillful brushwork extends beyond just capturing these intricate objects; he also includes additional elements like an open letter and an envelope, further enhancing the illusion of reality within his artwork. This photograph was taken by eRafael Valls Gallery in London and is now made available through Bridgeman Images for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and admire. It serves as a testament to Manlich's artistic prowess and his ability to create optical illusions that continue to captivate audiences even centuries later.
