| Trompe-L'oeil by Coggeshall Artistry truly fools the eye to seeing what isn't really there! | |||||||||||||
| The photo to the right shows the room before Coggeshall did his "magic". | |||||||||||||

| The photo to the left is of the same area as above after Coggeshall 's work. The wall now appears to be open to a valley vista below.
This is the trompe l'oeil technique. Coggeshall has transformed a flat wall into something that isn't there by "fooling the eye!" |

| Here is another example of Trompe l'oeil. The photo at the right is of a work in progress. Coggeshall had taped working drawings on the "window" edges which appear to be three dimensional but are actually flat! | |||||||||||||

Coggeshall faithfully completed this work from photographs. It is the crown jewel of the room. |

The room was designed to resemble the ruins of an old medieval church. The south wall is highlighted by this trompe-l'oeil Gothic window above an arched entry. The window looks out" on the famous Mont. St. Michaels of Northwestern France. |
