Knaresborough’s “Town Windows” - a collection of public art works illustrating characters and events from the town’s history is devised and managed by Renaissance Knaresborough. The art works use trompe l’oeil - ‘fooling the eye’ into seeing a painted picture as something real. Knaresborough has dozens of blank windows in older buildings of the town. The windows were blocked to avoid window tax or incorporated in the building’s design to provide symmetry. “Town Windows” reinstates the windows by installing paintings on panels. They’re great!
