拍品专文

The word 'anamorphic' derives from the Greek prefix ana-, meaning back or again, and morphe, meaning shape or form. The distorted perspective of this image required the viewer to use a special device, or take a specific vantage point, to reconstruct the image. A celebrated anamorphic painting is that of Edward VI by Scrots in the National Portrait Gallery, London.
