From 23 March to 21 July 2024 the exhibition rooms of the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara will welcome for the first time the works of Escher, a brilliant and visionary artist, always 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 into imaginative and seemingly impossible worlds.

In the creations of the great Dutch master, who lived in Italy between the two wars, countless themes and suggestions converge: from geometric theorems to mathematical intuitions, from philosophical reflections to the paradoxes of logic.

His unmistakable works, which have also influenced the world of design and advertising, challenge perception and represent a unique example in the panorama of art history of all time.

The ESCHER exhibition is organized by Arthemisia, Ferrara Art Foundation and Art Museum Service of the Municipality of Ferrara, in collaboration with the MC Escher Foundatione Maurits and is curated by Federico Giudiceandrea, one of the most important experts on the artist, and Mark Veldhuysen, president of the MC Escher Foundation.
