Inspired from the ancient Trompe l’oeil myth: Parrhasius and Zeuxis were rivals in a contest. Zeuxis painted grapes so natural that birds flew down to peck at them. Then Parrhasius brought in his picture, covered in a cloth. Reaching out to lift the curtain, Zeuxis discovered he had lost. - The cloth was Parrhasius painting.
