ANAMORPHOSES. Set of seven anamorphoses including scenes of daily life and animals. Some are illegibly signed or monogrammed. Legended on reverse or obverse: "Un homme qui apprend à sa femme à jouer de la flute", "Un gentilhomme qui vient de vendanger, la bouteille et le verre à la main", "Un bichon", "Une dame en robe de chambre qui écrit une lettre", "Gagne-petit", "Un homme avec sa créquille", "Un perroquet", various formats. 18th century (Dim.: 31.5 x 41 cm) (mirror missing, tears, wetness) The principle of anamorphosis, invented by Piero Della Francesca, consists in creating a work distorted by a cylindrical glass, stretching the lines vertically and horizontally, until they become illegible to the viewer. Placed behind a cylindrical mirror, whose location is indicated on the board, it reveals itself to the observer. Without it, the viewer sees only inconsistent elements. Today, anamorphosis is used by contemporary artists such as JR and Felice Varini.
