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.

M.C. Escher’s Metamorphose II (1939-1940) is a masterful exploration of transformation, symmetry, and visual continuity. This expansive woodcut print, spanning nearly four meters in length, takes viewers on a seamless journey through an evolving sequence of shapes and figures. Beginning with a simple checkerboard pattern, the design gradually morphs into intricate geometric tessellations, recognizable creatures such as fish and birds, and ultimately into architectural forms before looping back to its original state. Through this continuous metamorphosis, Escher challenges our perception of reality and the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Metamorphose II exemplifies his fascination with infinity, order, and the fluid relationship between mathematics and art, making it one of his most dynamic and captivating works. This 4,05 meter long poster is divided in 4 pieces of each approximately 103cm x 21,5cm. The image itself is about 20cm high. Shipped in a decorated tube. The pieces slightly overlap so please be careful when measuring for a frame.

Verbum, lithograph, 1942. "An evolution from the center outwards, offers more room for mature figures along the edges. The central word 'Verbum' recalls the biblical creation story. Triangular primordial figures emerge from misty gray, which, on the edges of the regular hexagon, evolved into birds, fish and frogs, each in their own element: air, water and earth. Each species appears in two conditions: day and night. They flow into each other and move along the circumference of the hexagon , in a clockwise direction." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170gram paper. Paper size : 65 x 55 cm. Image size approx : 54,2 x 46,5 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Drawing Hands, lithograph, 1948. "A piece of paper is pinned to a surface with four drawing pins. A right hand is busy sketching the sleeve of a shirt on that drawing paper. The hand has not yet finished its work at that spot, but somewhat further to the right it has a left hand protruding from the sleeve, already depicted in such detail that it rises from the plane and in turn, like a living body part, outlines the sleeve from which the right hand emerges." M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 65 x 55 cm. Image size approx : 54,5 x 46 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Bond of Union, lithograph, 1956. "Two spirals flow into each other and depict a woman's head on the left and a man's on the right. Like an endless ribbon, their foreheads intertwined, they form a unity. The spatial effect is enhanced by floating spheres, in front of, in and behind the hollow effigies." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size 65 x 55 cm. Image size approx : 58 x 43,7 cm. Shipped in cardboard tube.

Ascending and Descending, lithograph, 1960. "The endless staircase, that is the main motif of this imagery, was taken from an article by L.S. Penrose in the February 1958 issue of the British Journal of Psychology. A rectangular courtyard is bordered by a building that has an endless staircase as a roof covering. The inhabitants of this housing complex may well be monks, members of an unknown sect. It may be their ritual duty to climb this staircase for a few hours every day. When they are tired, they are apparently allowed to turn around and descend instead of climbing. But both directions, although meaningful, are equally restless. Two recalcitrant individuals refuse for the time being to participate in this exercise. They think what they want about it, but perhaps sooner or later they will see their error." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on poster paper. Paper size : 55 x 65 cm. Image size approx : 44,5 x 54 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.

Magic mirror, lithograph, 1946. "On a tiled floor there is a vertically mirrored screen, from which a mythical creature is born. It emerges piece by piece until a complete animal walks away to the right. His reflection moves to the left, but remains real for a moment, because it emerges from behind the reflective screen into reality. First they walk in single file, then two by two and finally both streams meet each other in rows of four. At the same time they lose their plasticity. They slide together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, fill each other's spaces and identify with the floor on which the mirror stands." ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen. Printed in black and white on 170 gram paper. Paper size : 65 x 55 cm, image size approx : 55,5 x 34,5 cm. Packaged in cardboard tube.
