This 16th-Century Optical Illusion Will Surprise You

Optical illusions are currently the hottest trend on the Internet. However, did you know that these illusions have existed for centuries? Yes, it is true and today’s fallacy is a prime example of this.

This stunning optical illusion depicts two individuals on the verge of a large hole. But, apart from taking a walk on holy ground, in the picture the two look as if they are walking along the edge of a shallow pit.

Going into the confusion, it appears that the two boys are just one wrong step away from falling. People on social media are puzzled as to how the two men in the picture are able to maintain their balance around what looks like a pit.

However, to know their secret, you have to look at this picture from a different perspective. This thing will surely take you by surprise.

The breathtaking picture was shot inside the Florence Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Flower. And it seems that optical illusions were in full swing even in the 16th century.

This image is a classic example of the perspective illusion, in which our eyes are misled based on the angle from which we view the image.

Viewed from different angles, what appears to be a hole is actually an interesting pattern of tiles placed on the floor to adorn the floor of a medieval cathedral. The wonderful mosaic design, created in the shape of an octagon, creates the illusion of a vacuum on the floor.

Its remarkable and extraordinary construction and interior design have made it one of the most intimidating churches in the world. Social media users still can’t believe their eyes after discovering incredible illusions and exquisite tilework.
