King Edward VI by William Scrots, 1546
Vexierbild by Erhand Schon, 1535Anamorphosis is a technique that involves an unusual projection of the image to a plane, causing the viewer to only grasp the image's true or hidden form when viewed it at a certain and specific perspective or by using a deformed mirror. It seems during the Renaissance, anamorphosis provided another way to fascinate and amuse the royalty, scholars, and aristocrats alike. :)
The earliest known experimentation of anamorphosis was done by Leonardo da Vinci, who sketched an anamorphic image of an eye around 1485. This sketch is known as "Leonardo's Eye."
