Inspired by walks he took, M.C. Escher’s “Puddle” is a realistic image that contrasts with his usual optical illusions. Escher (1898 – 1972) had no mathematical training, but used advanced math principles when creating over 2000 drawings, and 448 woodcuts, lithographs and engravings. With detailed notations about symmetry, thorough planning and numerous trial sketches, Escher intuitively used extremely advanced mathematical principles in his art.

This high-quality art print is expertly produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original.
