On the Wall
[
edit
]
The
On the Wall
section for research materials was inspired by the
"Waldy and Bendy’s Adventures in Art"
podcast, where at the end of each episode
Waldemar Januszczak
and
Bendor Grosvenor
would wind-up selecting a favorite picture hung on their 'invisible wall'.

Perspective corridor at the Spada Palace
by
Francesco Borromini
, Rome.
Built in 1635 for
Bernardino Spada
, who was a cardinal and served as an important papal negotiator at that time, the corridor was designed with an optical illusion to make it appear significantly longer and grander. The space of only 8.5 meters was transformed by Borromini into the visual deception of an extensive entrance way into the palace.
