Incredible 3D Murals

At first glance, it looks as if some natural disaster has shaken away the walls of these buildings to reveal architecture hidden for thousands of years.

And at second and third glance, it looks like that too.

These incredible scenes are are works of art, they are not real, they are work of some brilliant artists. In above image even that woman peering on to the wall is not real, she is also a part of this painting, to increase viewers curiosity.
These incredible paintings are work of John Pugh, who specialises in trompe l’oeil – or ‘trick of the eye’ – art.

But these spectacular images are not the unexpected result of an earthquake.

The Doric-style columns apparently exposed in this university hall are nothing but paint.
