M.C. Escher’s Metamorphose I (1937) is a groundbreaking early example of his fascination with transformation and tessellation. This woodcut print marks the beginning of Escher’s exploration of gradual shape-shifting patterns, a theme he would refine in later works such as Metamorphose II and Metamorphose III. In Metamorphose I, geometric shapes transition seamlessly into recognizable figures, demonstrating Escher’s ability to blend mathematics with artistic creativity. The print captures the fluid evolution of form, guiding the viewer through a visual journey where boundaries between abstraction and reality dissolve. With its rhythmic progression and meticulous detail, Metamorphose I showcases Escher’s genius in visualizing continuous change within a structured framework. Printed in black and white on 170gram paper. Packaged in cardboard tube. Paper size : 90 x 25 cm. Image size approx : 83,5 x 18 cm.

Tower of Babel, woodcut, 1928. "It was assumed that the different races also emerged during the confusion of tongues; hence some construction workers are white, others black. The work has come to a standstill because they no longer understand each other. Since the quintessence of the drama takes place at the top of the tower under construction, it was shown, as if in a bird's eye view, from above. This resulted in the need for a strong perspective shift downwards." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 32,3 x 52 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Gravity, lithograph, hand-coloured, 1952. "Here is another star dodecahedron, bordered by twelve flat five-pointed stars. On each of these platforms lives a tailless monster with a long neck and four legs. Its torso is trapped under a five-sided pyramid with walls, each with an opening, through which the animal protrudes its head and legs. But the pointed end of a platform on which one animal lives is also the wall of the dungeon of one of its fellow sufferers. All these triangular ends therefore have the double function of a floor as a wall." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in color on poster paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 49 x 49cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Rind, wood engraving of 4 blocks printed, 1955. "Like the spiral skin of a fruit, like a hollow, fragmentary sculpture, a female effigy floats through space.

Image size approx : 37,7 x 55 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Encounter, lithograph, 1944. "From the gray edges of a back wall, a complicated pattern of white and black human figures develops. Since people who want to live need at least a floor to walk on, one was designed for them, with a circular hole in it, so that, as much of the back wall as possible, remains visible. As a result, they are also forced to walk in a circle and meet each other in the foreground: a white optimist and a black pessimist, who shake hands." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 65 x 55 cm. Image size approx : 55 x 39,7 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Hand with Reflecting Sphere, lithograph, 1935. "A reflective sphere rests on the hand of the draftsman. He sees a much more complete picture of his surroundings in that mirror than through direct observation, because he sees almost the entire space around him: four walls, floor and ceiling of his room are , albeit distorted, compressed into that disk. His head, more precisely: the point right between his eyes, is in the center. No matter how he turns, he remains the center ." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen.

Circle Limit IV (Heaven and Hell or Angels and Devils), woodcut of 2 blocks printed, 1960. "Here too, the components shrink from the inside out. The six largest, three white angels and three black devils, are arranged radially around the center. The disc is divided into six sectors, in which the angels on a black background and the devils on a white background alternately dominate. Heaven and hell alternate six times." ~ M.C.

House of Stairs, lithograph, 1951. "A game element occurs that was already discussed in the regular division of the surface, the glide reflection. Almost the entire top half of the print is a mirror image of the bottom half. The top step, along which a creature descends from left to right, is even mirrored twice: in the middle and then again at the bottom. On the stairs in the upper right corner, the contrast between 'climbing' and 'descending' has been removed: two rows of animals go next to each other, but one rises and the other descends." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170grams paper. Packaged in cardboard tube. Paper size : 45 x 79,5 cm. Image size approx : 36,7 x 72,3 cm.
