Flor de Pascua - Madonna 1921

"Flor de Pascua - Madonna" is a woodcut created in 1921 by M.C. Escher, a Dutch graphic artist renowned for his intricate tessellations and impossible structures. This early work showcases Escher's mastery of black and white, with stark contrasts emphasizing the forms of the Madonna and child. The background, composed of vertical lines, adds depth and texture, contrasting with the simplified, yet expressive, figures. Escher's early woodcuts often explored religious themes, creating a unique blend of traditional subject matter and modern artistic sensibilities.
