Murals Of Melaka

A runaway tourist attraction train was unleashed in Penang when Ernest Zacharevic started his wall doodling. Now, any old area of Malaysia and other countries in Asia are hip to the mural attraction and have commissioned their own artwork.

What you got, Melaka? Bully for you!

Fun with bricks. You gotta have some 3D trickery. 

Fun with trompe-l'œil. Back to a 3D touch, a Malaysian mouse deer on a pot sconce.

Full blown fantasy.

Bringing all the mural, tourism tricks together. Actual bicycle. Promoting the town and a favorite food. A little palm tree illusion, courtesy of well-placed drain pipes.

Hall of Pranciškus Smuglevičius At Vilnius University

Vilnius University has an old, classic library and the heart of it is the hall of Pranciškus Smuglevičius. It's a beautiful space, originally built as a refectory. In 1803, it was converted for library use and the painter Smuglevičius was hired to decorate it. He chose a classical theme, featuring 12 luminaries of the Arts and Sciences.

The vaulted ceiling.

Details, two of the 12 busts and a bunch of trompe l'oeil. The center painting of the ceiling.

The room is now used by the rare publications department.

What do they display? Cool, old books. What color!
