When they knocked down a house in the village of Thezan lately to provide an entrance for the new Old Folks Home they were left with a blank canvas.
The town Commissioners invited in two artists, Agnes and Olivier Costa to decorate this with a picture which would remind us of the past life of the village.
The couple made this remarkable trompe l’oeil which shows two old inhabitants of the village, one an ex-mayor who was the saddle maker, pictured outside his shop with his friend who was the proprietor of the bicycle shop.

on February 14, 2010Enjoying your blogs. Saw article and photo while having coffee at beach in Tramore – you both look good!!
Trompe l’oeil is terrific. Must put one on my own gable. Weather still good here but cold. Saw whales blowing during trip to Wexford (Baginbun Head) on Thursday last – about 10 miles out!
