At least I am presuming that the painting originally matched the real ironwork.

When I live San Diego one of my favorite building was the Metropolitan Hotel.<br /><br />The building had bay windows when it was built in 1886. To the casual observer, it looks decidedly contemporary -- until you spot the rugged 19th-century columns still visible on the street level. The Metropolitan also features arrestingly realistic trompe l'oeil effects painted on the facade by artists Nonni McKinnoon and Kitty Anderson. When the building was being renovated in the '80s, it was determined a faithful restoration would be too costly, so the owner was permitted to do the faux finish. Today the Metropolitan is another of San Diego's well-located hostels.<br /><br />San Francisco's Mission District is another great place to view illusionism, although it is better know for murals. I lived in San Francisco for several years it is a walking city like Paris and there is so much to see and do. In the Mission District just off of 24th Street, Balmy Alley is lined almost end-to-end with colorful murals painted by local artists. To me it is funny that most people do not notice the natural or created beauty all around them. {Both are created beauty it is just your point of view. lol} I always want to say "Slow down and enjoy your life". But of course, when a lot of people finally realize that... it will be to late.<br /><br />Trompe L'oeil is French for "trick of the eye", and refers to any style of media {usually painting} intended to create an optical illusion to fool the viewer. The earliest remaining example of trompe l'oeil was found in the unearthing of Pompeii, and is thousands of years old.<br /><br />A mural is any piece of artwork painted directly on a wall, ceiling, or other large permanent surface.<br /><br />I loved the post Eric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-55777561773014469162009-07-23T22:37:55.891+02:002009-07-23T22:37:55.891+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-42688907201190650482009-07-23T22:18:36.564+02:002009-07-23T22:18:36.564+02:00Holà everyone!!!!
