From a holiday in Italy 2012. This facade of an official building in Genua is completely painted in 2D with exception for the balcony and the 2 colums at the entrance. One for Sami's Colourful World here.
It's hard to imagine a modern muralist (or team) having enough patience to do something like that these days! And they even have better tools, such as being able to project the design on the building. The work that went into those old trompe-l'oeil murals is hard to grasp.
What attention to detail. I enlarged it before I read your description. Returning to the larger image, it was STILL hard to believe those were all painted on the front of the building. This is absolutely incredible.
Wonderful facade of an impressive building.
