"Fara San Martino, Abruzzi" is a 1928 woodcut by the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. The artwork depicts a small Italian village nestled within the mountains. The composition is characterized by a sense of depth and perspective, created through the use of overlapping planes and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. Escher's signature attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures of the buildings and the surrounding landscape. The print is an example of Escher's early exploration of perspective and geometric patterns, which would later become defining features of his work.
