Fluorescent Sea 1933

"Fluorescent Sea" is a 1933 woodcut by M.C. Escher. The artwork depicts a dark seascape with a few faint stars in the sky, suggesting a nighttime scene. The ocean is rendered in a distinctive style, with undulating lines that evoke a sense of movement and depth. This piece is representative of Escher's early artistic explorations, a period when he was still developing his signature style of tessellations and impossible spaces. The woodcut's simple yet evocative composition captures the essence of a calm, nocturnal ocean.
