What is it called when a painting feels voyeuristic?
Is there a word for the painting/ composition style that makes you feel like you’re spying in on the scene? I remember learning that Vermeer paintings evoked this feeling, as well as paintings like “Las Meninas.”
Is there a blog or thread anyone can point me to with a collection of these types of paintings?
