ANAMORPHOSIS MAGIC MIRROR
Anamorphosis magic mirror. It was a method already described in the mid-15th century in Piero della Francesca’s studies on perspective. In 1533 we find a curious anamorphosis painted by Hans Holbein in his painting The Ambassadors, in which a deformed skull appears.
HISTORY
The word anamorphosis appears for the first time in 1612, with Salomon de Caus being one of the first researchers on this type of images.
Based on geometric perspective, he applied different mathematical calculations by which these images were deformed and reformed when projected onto a cylindrical mirror, onto a cone and also onto a pyramid.
Jean François Nicéron published “The Curious Perspective” in 1638. This was a broad treatise that spread this form of perspective, and that turned anamorphosis into one of the favourite diversions of 17th century society.
Today, mural artists such as Julian Beever apply anamorphosis by creating incredible painted perspectives on the sidewalks of the streets.
