The painting cleverly makes it appear as if the concrete wall has cracked away to reveal another wall of bricks which in turn reveals a a plaster wall which then exposes wood framing and a gray masonry wall. Along the way, little things are revealed...a border of delicate blue and white Dutch tiles, an empty bottle of light green glass perched on a jutting brick, a pair of antique books, and the pair of old-fashioned spectacles show above.
It's the work of Albany Mural, a company whose illusionist art appears throughout downtown Albany...including the Maiden Lane pedestrian bridge and the facade of the Albany Public Library's main branch.
