Street in Scanno, Abruzzi 1930

"Street in Scanno, Abruzzi" (1930) is a woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. The artwork depicts a winding street in the Italian village of Scanno, Abruzzi. The scene is rendered in stark black and white, emphasizing the play of light and shadow across the stone buildings and cobbled streets. Escher was known for his innovative use of perspective and geometric patterns, and "Street in Scanno, Abruzzi" exemplifies his mastery of these techniques. While the artwork is not a purely abstract composition, it hints at Escher's later explorations of impossible spaces and architectural illusions.
