The exhibition presents wall decorations and interiors (detached frescoes from Ancient Rome, where the theme of deception gave life to a school) and to Flemish artists and their innovations in the trompe-l'oeil genre. Among the many curious pieces is the famous cabinet called Scarabattolo (from the Opificio delle Pietre Dure), a painting of the late 1600s, by the Flemish artist Domenico Remps, that shows a collection of natural and artistic objects from the Medici family. Masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian and Veronese will induce the visitor to reflect on the duplicity with which spatial interaction is depicted in painting, whilst the 17th century works of Jean-François de la Motte, and the still lifes of the 19th American realists will allow the visitor to explore subjects frequently encountered in optically deceptive painting. Exhibition, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, 16 October 2009-24 January 2010.
