peep-show box
peep-show box. An enclosed cabinet with scenes painted on the interior surfaces in such a way that when viewed through a small opening or eyepiece they give a strong illusion of three-dimensional reality.
Alberti may have been the inventor of the peep-show box, for some such device is ascribed to him in a contemporary, anonymous biography, but they had their greatest popularity in 17th-century Holland. Six examples survive from this time, three of them by
Hoogstraten (the best,
c.1655–60, is in the National Gallery, London).
