 * Reason:Samuel Dirksz van Hoogstraten (1627–1678) was a rather fascinating Dutch painter of the Golden Age, who was also a poet and author on art theory. He was skilled in painting Tromp-l'oeil paintings - or so called Cheat the eye - still-lifes. Those are paintings made in the way to create an optical illusion - giving the impression that the depicted objects actually exist in three dimensions. Citation:"This is one of the deceptively realistic still-lifes by Van Hoogstraten. The objects the artist depicted in his trompe-l'oeil still-lifes reflect his life and social standing. ...."

 * Support - A very good example of trompe l'oeil. (I think "Trick the eye" sounds better than "Cheat the eye" as a translation, but that's a separate and not very important issue.) This genre is in a way very modern -- illustrating the idea that one's possessions give clues to one's life, interests and personality. CorinneSD (talk) 00:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
