German painter Johann Michael Hambach made illusionist still lifes that play tricks on your eyes. His 1675 painting *Trompe l'oeil of a wooden rifle rack* hides real guns, a banner, and saddles behind a flat wall, fooling viewers into reaching for things that aren’t there. Look closely—every buckle and rifle strap is painted to fool the touch. Want to step into another tricky wall? Tap *Trompe l'oeil of a wooden rifle rack* and see what else hides in plain sight.
