Musca depicta information


Petrus Christus's Portrait of a Carthusian has a musca depicta perched on the trompe-l'œil frame.

Musca depicta ("painted fly" in Latin; plural: muscae depictae) is a depiction of a fly as a conspicuous element of various paintings.[1] The feature was widespread in 15th- and 16th-century European paintings, and its presence has been subject to various interpretations by art historians.[1][2]
