Carubba Tree (February 1932) 1932

"Carubba Tree (February 1932)" is a woodcut created by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher in 1932. The artwork depicts a carob tree growing from a cliff, with the branches reaching toward the sky and the roots clinging to the rocky surface. Escher's signature use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism in the image, making the viewer feel as if they are looking out at the scene themselves. This piece demonstrates Escher's early style of detailed naturalism, evident in the meticulously crafted tree and landscape.
