4 artworks that play with perspective
You may have seen countless images like the one above, which appear to be three-dimensional, although they were obviously painted in just two dimensions. However, although they require a lot of patience and work hours to get ready, as well as a lot of planning and perspective knowledge on the part of the artist, these figures are only visible from a particular point of view.
The folks at Gizmodo have published several of these images, revealing what they look like when they are viewed from the right angle and what happens when we change our perspective. See how interesting:

Another very interesting example of how this trick can be used is in architecture, with the works of Felice Varini, a Swiss artist who uses and abuses perspective in his creations. Thus, Varini positions various objects in environments that, depending on where they are observed, appear to be in complete disorder or reveal a specific shape:
Jesuit Church
