Palazzo dei Diamanti welcomes for the first time the works of Escher, a brilliant and visionary artist who has always been loved by mathematicians and rediscovered by the general public in relatively recent times.
Born in 1898 in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher has won the appreciation of millions of visitors thanks to his extraordinary ability to transport them inside imaginative and seemingly impossible worlds.
Countless themes and suggestions converge in the creations of the great Dutch master, who lived in Italy between the wars: from geometric theorems to mathematical insights, from philosophical reflections to the paradoxes of logic.
His unmistakable works, which have also influenced the world of design and advertising, challenge perception and are unique in the panorama of art history of all time.
