anamorphosis

Artistic technique of distortion. Something of a fashion in early 16th-century northern Europe, anamorphosis involved producing an over-long, squashed image which would rectify itself when viewed from a particular side angle. Leonardo da Vinci experimented with it while at the French court, and Hans Holbein the Younger employed the technique for the image of the skull in his double portrait The Ambassadors (1533).
