The major M.C. Escher exhibition arrives in Padua!
An extraordinary exhibition is coming to the Centro Culturale Altinate San Gaetano in Padua, presenting the work of an artist capable of transforming geometry and mathematics into pure art. An unmissable event, designed for adults and children, art and science enthusiasts, to discover the unique work of one of the most fascinating geniuses of the 20th century.
Curated by Federico Giudiceandrea, one of the world's leading collectors and experts on Escher, the exhibition takes visitors into the imaginative and surprising universe of this extraordinary Dutch artist.
Born in 1898 in the Netherlands, M.C. Escher was able to blend art and mathematics into an unmistakable visual language, capable of challenging perception and captivating entire generations. Famous for his impossible visions, visual paradoxes and infinite geometries, Escher has become an icon over time not only for mathematicians and scholars, but also for the general public, captivated by the visual and conceptual power of his works.
His creations represent an extraordinary meeting point between scientific thought and artistic imagination, profoundly influencing fields such as design, graphics, cinema, advertising, fashion and music.
The exhibition, under the patronage of the Embassy and Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, promoted by the Municipality of Padua, is produced and organised by Arthemisia in collaboration with the M.C. Escher Foundation, M.C. Escher Heritage and Maurits.
