Anamorphism Category
Anamorphism Category4 comments
An Anamorphoscope, a conical or cylindrical mirror is placed on the drawing or a painting to transform a flat distorted image into a three dimensional picture that can be viewed from many angles. The deformed image is painted on a plane surface surrounding the mirror. By looking uniquely into the mirror, the image appears undeformed. Current in the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, this process of anamorphosis made it possible to diffuse caricatures, erotic and scatological scenes, and scenes of sorcery for a confidential public. Anamorphoscopes were invented in China and brought to Italy in the 16th century, about the time Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci were mastering 3D and discovering slant anamorphosis. This section is called Anamorphosis Category. You can check our current Anamorphisms:

Afterimages Category
mostly contains photo negatives of original images, ("Inverted Color Illusions") that provide a wonderful afterimage after starring at them for some time. You can check all of the sets below. There is more targeted and specific explanation for each illusion that belongs to this category - just follow the provided links. The "grandfather" illusion that started this all is original Jesus Illusion. Optical illusions of this type are often spread between this category, and related ones - "Color Adapting" and "Animations". This is because the line of categorization is very thin among images of this type, so be sure to check related categories.
