In our discussion of realism, we will be concerned only with the second definition. Naturalism is often used as a synonym for realism; thus, a work that reproduces surfaces may be said to be realism, naturalistic, or illusionistic; veristic is also used, but less commonly. The most extreme form of realism is trompe-l’oeil (French: deceives the eye), complete illusionism-the painted fly on the picture frame, the waxwork museum guard standing in a doorway, images created with the purpose of deceiving the viewer. But of course most image are not the exact size of the model, so even if they are realistically rendered, they do not deceive. When we look at most images, we are aware that we are looking not at reality (a fly, a human being) but at the prohibit illusionism; an unpainted stone or bronze head, however accurate in its representation of cheekbones, hair, the shape of the nose, and so forth, cannot be take for Abraham Lincoln.
