Scilla, Calabria (February 1931) 1931

"Scilla, Calabria (February 1931)" is a 1931 woodcut by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. Known for his exploration of perspective and impossible structures, Escher captured the Italian town of Scilla with a unique visual language. He utilizes a series of parallel lines to represent the steep cliffside, houses, and even the water in a way that distorts our perception of depth and space. This work is representative of Escher's early style and his fascination with geometric patterns and their impact on the viewer's interpretation of reality.
