Guys, remember that from October 20, 2022 there is a must-see exhibition here in Florence, a record-breaking exhibition dedicated to “ESCHER.” More than 200 works will be housed in a unique exhibition venue, in the spaces of the historic Museo degli Innocenti, which, thanks to the collaboration with Arthemisia, has become a landmark in the Tuscan capital as a venue for major art exhibitions.
The major exhibition dedicated to the brilliant Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher will be open until March 26, 2023.
Escher was born in 1898 in the Netherlands and died there in 1972. In 1922 he first visited Italy, where he then lived for many years, visiting it from north to south and representing it in many of his works. Restless, reserved and undoubtedly brilliant, Escher in his famous engravings and lithographs created a unique, imaginative, impossible world where art, mathematics, science, physics and design converge.
An anthological exhibition-with about 200 works and the most representative works that have made him famous worldwide-tells the story of the Dutch artist’s genius with the most iconic works of his production such as 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.
The Escher exhibition is set to be the first major exhibition event within the monumental complex-designed by Filippo Brunelleschi-that houses the marvelous and extremely rich Museo degli Innocenti, which, with Arthemisia’s signature exhibitions, is already on its way to being a venue for major art exhibitions.
