Abstract

In studying art history and art theory, people often discuss the phantom truth in images from the perspective of accurate representation and visual psychology. However, in the long practice of Western illusion, realizing the value or function of illusion is a cultural process determined by multiple factors. Especially in the religious paintings of the Renaissance era, the practice of illusion is connected with the image’s viewing field and the viewer’s sacred gaze in this field. The essence of the image impulse is neither a pure representation of reality nor of the so-called sight. Illusion is the resetting of the image to the sacred space. This paper focuses on the pluralism of illusion and the functional realization of religious paintings in the Renaissance era, discusses the relationship between the functional realization of illusion and the viewing field and the sacred gaze of the viewer in this field, and finds that the essence of the image impulse is not simply the factual representation or visual illusion, but the rest of the image to the sacred space. Therefore, from the perspective of history and culture, the practice of illusory reality is a cultural process determined by multiple factors, which need to be understood and explained in specific cultural situations.
