In “Hand with Globe,” Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898 – 1972) combines intuitive mathematical skills with visual distortions in impossible architecture, spatial illusions and repeating geometric patterns. His depictions of spheres and other objects were influenced by Italian landscapes and intricate tiling patterns of Spain’s Moorish castles. Escher was considered to be a master research mathematician, despite his lack of formal training.
