From March 23 to July 21, 2024, the exhibition halls of Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara will welcome for the first time the works of Escher, a brilliant and visionary artist who has always been loved by mathematicians and rediscovered by the general public in relatively recent times.

Born in 1898 in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher won the appreciation of millions of visitors through his extraordinary ability to transport them inside imaginative and seemingly impossible worlds.

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

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

The Escher exhibition is organized by Arthemisia, Ferrara Arte Foundation and Art Museum Service of the City of Ferrara, in collaboration with the M. C. Escher Foundation and Maurits and is curated by Federico Giudiceandrea, one of the artist’s leading experts, and Mark Veldhuysen, president of the M.C. Escher Foundation.
