...and another fly...

File:Frankfurt master-artist and wife.jpg

Master of Frankfurt:
'Self Portrait of the Artist with his Wife', 1496.
The painter has included life-sized trompe l'oeil flies -
seemingly on the painting's surface - an allusion to the
classical artistic deceptions of Zeuxis and Parrhasius.

Remember this fly?
