Views of the Citadel Calvi (Corsica) 1933

"Views of the Citadel Calvi (Corsica)" is a 1933 woodcut by the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. The artwork depicts a dramatic perspective of the Citadel of Calvi, a 14th-century fortress on the island of Corsica. Escher's signature use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to detail, creates a sense of depth and realism in the image. This work is a prime example of Escher's early artistic style, exploring themes of perspective, architecture, and the natural world.
