When Michelangelo pained the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he may have been lying on his back. But some experts maintain he was sitting or even standing up.

The value of any paintings by the cornish artist joan madge?

I have a leaflet about Joan Madge which came with the oil painting we bought back in the early 70s. This lists 31 of her paintings that were on sale at The Joan Madge Studio, 25 Queen Street, Bude, Cornwall. The price list is in guineas with a range of 3 - 20 guineas! This is a copy of the biographical notes: "Joan Madge (Mrs J Winlove-Smith of Crooklets, Bude) has painted for a number of years, following an art training in Sussex, Plymouth School of Art and the Central Schoolof Art (London). Her work became known when her painting "Homage", depicting the Lying-in-State of the late Sir Winston Churchill, was purchased by His Grace the Duke of Marlborough. This painting now hangs in the birthroom of the late Sir Winston Churchill at Blenheim Palace. As the artist has just returned from a painting session in Greece, there are several studies of Greek Islands; the Aegean Sea and Athens, as well as the more familiar landscapes and sea-scapes of Cornwall and Devon." I regret I don't have any idea of the value of her paintings.


What is tromploy?

Even though it's pronounced tromploy, the phrase is actually spelled trompe-l'œil, or trompe l'oeil. It is a French phrase meaning 'deceive the eye'. It is an art technique that employs perspective, shadow, and extremely realistic imagery in order to create an optical illusion. It can be used to make a room appear larger than it is, or create the illusion that there is an object lying on a table when in fact the object is merely painted, or that something is a three-dimensional sculpture when it's really just a two-dimensional painting. There are some great trompe-l'oeil murals painted on the plain flat sides of building that make you think you are looking at an arched wall with gardens beyond, for example. There is an artist active now who creates trompe-l'oeil paintings of canyons on sidewalks that are so realistic people are afraid of falling in. This is a great topic to search on google images - you'll have fun.


Who performs tricks using sleight of hand?

A sleight of hand artist differs from a magician in that a magician constructs illusions using special, custom-made props (hats with a false panel, fake flower bouquet, etc...) . A sleight of hand artist, however, uses ordinary objects (book of matches, pack of sugar, a coin...), often whatever is lying around to perform tricks, using misdirection to get the audience to look in the wrong place, leaving the artist to conceal his true movements. He then produces the object in a place or state unexpected.That would be a sleight of hand artist.
