Study finds why eyes in some pictures seem to follow an observer.....
A new study explains the science of those eyes on a painting that seem to follow you. The study,recently released in perceptions magazine, was conducted at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands as a way to see how the brain interprets images. "The biggest reason for the following eyes is the way we perceive a three dimensional surface. Three dimensional objects, in life, change with the way light falls on them as viewers move around the object. But when we observe a picture on the wall, the visual information that defines near and far points is unaffected by viewing direction. Viewers perceive the object depicted in the painting as a surface in a three-dimensional space. But we also perceive that the painting itself is a two dimensional surface hanging on the wall. People may be surprised by this phenomenon because of the unique perceptual aspects of viewing a picture. When we look at a picture, you have these two perceptions simultaneously, but it is difficult to make sense of that conceptually. That is why this issue has fascinated people for hundreds of years."
***Although the eyes seem to follow you in this painting, it's not the same as my other items where the eyes have been manipulated so the eyes actually seem to move on their own.***
The frame is not offered in this auction and is just shown to enhance the looks of the painting. You really don't need a frame to display this painting you can hang it on the stretcher bar on the back.
