The descriptive phrase for this technique, "trompe l'oeil" (which means to deceive the eye) dates from the Baroque, but the technique - often seen in murals - was used from Greek and Roman times on. Typical examples use a window, door, or hallway to suggest larger spaces (more information here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe-l%27%C5%93il)). See more 'Deceive the eye' designs by Su_G.
