That's a Pieter Brueghel the Elder painting: Dull Gret, a 1562 painting.

Salvidor Dali has some cool pictures like that. Do a google image search and a bunch come up.

Optical illusions? I didn't see a specific name for that one but if you google "wiki psychological illusions", a wiki page comes up with the info.

Have a look at Escher's work.

Optical illusions in art are usually deemed 'opti-art'.
