The Penrose Triangle is one of the most fascinating impossible figures ever created. Although it appears three-dimensional at first glance, it cannot actually exist in the physical world. It was conceived in 1934 by Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd and later popularized in the 1950s by mathematician Roger Penrose.
Its structure defies the laws of Euclidean geometry, as its angles seem to connect coherently, yet the whole figure is physically unrealizable. This visual paradox inspired the renowned artist M.C. Escher in his works of impossible perspectives and has been studied in psychology for how the brain processes contradictory images.
Over time, the Penrose Triangle has found applications in art, architecture, and design, where it is used to create striking visual effects that challenge perception.
