BUT you have to understand that this is a painting and the artists had no neighbors with a pc or even dialup,electricity was even a big ask.

I think this painting was originally designed to be hung on a stair-case. Anyone walking up the stairs would not have a good view of the painting itself, but would see a foreshortened version of the anamorphic part. So, as they climbed the stairs on a dark night, maybe carrying a candle, they would suddenly see the skull!

Hmm, To me its too obvious, I could easily see it was a skull immediately.
I didnt have to look sideways, did anyone else get that?

1. Liberate: Dude, it so is.

2. I've seen this before. i knew this from primary school, and then i saw it in a documentary about the da vinci code, where the 'secret' codes in the last supper were probably easily recognised back in the day (like, say, hiding david beckham in the back of a portrait of your dad). this was shown as an example, as the fact that theres the skull, theres a broken string on the guitar/ukelele/whatever, and that hidden in the top right corner, behind the curtain, theres a crucifix. This doesn't somehow show the painter was the head of a secret organization and that the ambassador is a descendant of jesus

also we talked about it in high school a few weeks ago, after it being mentioned in a book we were reading
