Cloister at Monreale | M.C. Escher | 1933

M.C. Escher’s Cloister at Monreale, Sicily (1933) is a masterful woodcut print that showcases his precision in architectural depiction and mastery of light and shadow. The composition presents a striking view from within the medieval cloister, emphasizing the richly decorated columns and pointed arches that frame a sunlit bell tower in the background. Escher employs intricate cross-hatching techniques to create depth and contrast, capturing the interplay of sunlight streaming through the arches and casting angular shadows. This work reflects his fascination with perspective, structure, and the mathematical harmony of historical architecture.
