illusionistic

Examples of illusionistic in the following topics:

• Texture

  • Take for example Realist or Illusionist works, which rely on the heavy use of paint and varnish, yet maintain an utterly smooth surface.

• Space

  • Visually, it is an illusionist phenomenon, well suited to realism and the depiction of reality as it appears.

• Italian Painting in the Baroque Period

  • Some were dramatically illusionistic, such as Gaulli's nave fresco (1674–9) in the church of the Gesu and Andrea Pozzo's nave vault (1691–4) in Sant'Ignazio, both in Rome.

• Rembrandt

  • Stylistically, Rembrandt's paintings progressed from the early "smooth" manner, characterized by fine technique in the portrayal of illusionistic form, to the late "rough" treatment of richly variegated paint surfaces, which allowed for an illusionism of form suggested by the tactile quality of the paint itself.

• The Venetian Painters of the High Renaissance

  • Veronese is known as a supreme colorist, and for his illusionistic decorations in both fresco and oil.

• Mannerist Architecture

  • In this work, which incorporated garden grottoes and extensive frescoes, he uses illusionistic effects, surprising combinations of architectural form and texture, and features that seem somewhat disproportionate or out of alignment, making it very much a Mannerist structure.

• Painting in the Late Byzantine Empire

  • Over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as the styles of Italian and Northern Renaissance artists grew in popularity, the rendering of the human body and illusionistic space became increasingly realistic.
