Many people try to take the images literally, when they were never

James McKinnon, who taught a course on this at SUNY Buffalo back in the '70s, made the important distinction of "realistic, but not real." A major example of this is a famous painting of St. Cecilia at the organ, in which the lengths of the pipes increase linearly from low to high instead of exponentially from high to low.
