The architectural elements on the side of this building that faces the Esplanade Georges Pompidou in Nice, France are all entirely painted on as part of a giant trompe-l’oeil artwork. The only real detail on this otherwise flat surface is the overhanging gutter at the very top. Meaning “fool the eye,” trompe-l’oeil artworks appear all over Nice, but this is the most impressive in terms of size and detail.
