Stunning, large-scale vintage framed print of "Three Worlds" (Drie Werelden) by the legendary Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.
This is an officially licensed, vintage lithographic reproduction published by Cordon Art B.V. in Baarn, Holland (the estate company managed by Escher's family).
It features Escher's integrated signature monogram and plate date (XII 55) in the corner.
Dating from the 1980s/1990s, this is a heavy, substantial collector's piece that perfectly bridges mid-century surrealist art with rustic, organic home styling.
KEY FEATURES:
The Masterwork:
Unlike Escher's "impossible" optical illusions, "Three Worlds" is a brilliant study of real nature and light physics. It seamlessly captures three layers of reality in a forest pond: the bare trees above (visible via reflection), the autumn leaves floating on the surface plane, and a large carp (koi fish) swimming deep just under the water.
Artisan Custom Frame:
Housed in a thick, heavy, dark-stained solid timber frame. It features a unique, hand-stamped woodworker's "M" maker's mark on the front corner, proving it was custom-milled by a craftsman to match the print.
Superb Contrast:
The sharp black-and-white litho print is in excellent condition behind clear protective glass, beautifully showing off the intricate details of the birch and oak leaves.
