A major exhibition dedicated to the great Duch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher arrived at the Museo degli Innocenti. Until March 26, 2023, more than 200 works will be housed in a unique exhibition venue, in the spaces of the museum that in the past was a Florentine orphanage.

The exhibition unites the most representative works that have made Escher famous all over the world and helps the visitors to learn his history. Born in 1898 and dead in 1972, in the Netherlands, he first visited Italy in 1922, where he lived for many years, visiting it from north to south and representing it in many of his works.

His works are unmistakable: engravings and lithographs that create a unique, imaginative, impossible world where art, mathematics, science, physics and design converge. Among the most iconic works, the visitors will find Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), Bond of Union (1956), Metamorphosis II (1939), Day and Night (1938) and the Emblemata series, which belong to the common imagination referable to the great artist.
