Hi

In the story of Zeuxis and Parrhasius, two artists
compete to see who can paint the most realistic
picture

Z dramatically unveils his picture by tearing down
a curtain to reveal a picture of grapes. Everyone
agrees they look pretty real. He turns to his
opponent and says - take down your curtain now
and let us see if what you've painted seems so real!
