St. George the Dragon Slayer

Not only is this a portrait of St. George, when you look at his face, you can see the scene where he is fighting the dragon. Nice to know: the picture is recursive. The face of St. George on his horse is again a picture of the fight.

Secret between Fall Leaves

There is a naked woman hidden between the leaves. Did you see her? She lies just in the middle!

Message of Love from the Dolphins

How old are you? If you are young and innocent, you will probably see a group of playing dolphins. But if you’re older and have a bit more “experience”, you’ll see two naked people. Go ahead, ask a kid what it sees here. ^ ^

> Sandro Del-Prete strives to create works of the utmost detail and realism. In achieving his goal he has created artworks in which the borders between reality and imagination blur and have no definite outlines.

Gesture of a Ballerina

There are three remarkable things in this picture. At the left you can see a drawn hand that’s holding the page on which it’s drawn. At first sight, there is also a hand on the right, but when you look carefully, it’s a ballerina. And finally, the legs of the ballerina are behind the page so she is ‘wearing’ the page as a skirt.

Einstein!

If you look carefully at the face of Einstein, you will see three nude Graces.

Spirit of the Woods

Is this a picture of a bearded man’s face?
Or a landscape in the woods?

Bath Towel

At first it seems the woman is hanging her laundry naked. But you can see in the reflection of the window that she’s dressed. And when you look closer, the towel actually just has dolphins printed on it.

> In developing his style, Sandro del Prete coined the term “Illusorism”, this means the process of representing optical delusions when drawing pictures. These optical delusions are actually illusions in the broadest sense of the word. The illusory effect of Illusorisms is based on intentionally misleading the viewer – as is the case with illusionists (magicians). However, it is founded on a completely different principle. The deliberate presentation of an “erroneous” perspective on certain plays of light and shadow, the interpretation of which is open to various explanations and can be used to create such Illusorisms.
