Calanques de Piana 1928

"Calanques de Piana" is a 1928 woodcut print by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his exploration of impossible spaces and optical illusions. The print depicts a dramatic seascape with craggy cliffs and a distant bay, rendered in Escher's signature detailed and meticulous style. The artist's interest in perspective and geometric patterns is evident in the layered, interlocking forms of the rocks, creating a sense of depth and visual intrigue. This artwork is a prime example of Escher's early fascination with nature, which he would later translate into his iconic architectural and mathematical illusions.
