M.C. Escher 'Belvedere' 1988

1988

About the Item

M.C. Escher’s Belvedere is framed in a shiny black metal frame with a 3/8-inch front profile and a 7/8-inch side profile, lending it a sleek, contemporary appearance. The overall dimensions are approximately 10.5 x 7 x 7/8 inches. Paper Size: 9.5 x 6 inches ( 24.13 x 15.24 cm ) Image Size: 9.5 x 6 inches ( 24.13 x 15.24 cm ) Framed: Yes Frame Size: Condition: A: Mint The meaning of Belvedere (1958) lies in Escher’s exploration of impossible structures and the limitations of perspective. In this lithograph, Escher presents a building with architectural inconsistencies that defy logic, such as columns and beams that connect in ways that are physically impossible. The figure at the bottom holds a drawing of a cube that seems to twist impossibly, echoing the structure above. Through Belvedere, Escher encourages viewers to question their perception and challenges conventional understandings of spatial reality. The piece is a fascinating commentary on illusion, perspective, and the brain's tendency to make sense of the nonsensical. Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.
