"Atrani, Coast of Amalfi" is a 1932 woodcut by the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. It depicts the Italian coastal village of Atrani as seen from a clifftop, with the town's white buildings cascading down the hillside towards the sea. Escher's use of black and white lines creates a striking contrast between the light and shadow of the scene, capturing the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
