Not What it Seems

October 5, 2021 Martha Lattie
Urbino.jpg

Study from the Palace of the Duke of Urbino, 1476.

Commissioned by Frederico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino for a palace in Gubbio near Perugia, Italy, but now part of the collection of The Met. This room is an example of the trompe l'oeil, or "fool the eye" technique. Small pieces of wood are inlaid in patterns to resemble actual objects.
