Gulf of Porto Corsica December 1933 by M.C. Escher: A Serene Mediterranean Landscape

Gulf of Porto Corsica December 1933 is a striking example of his landscape work, created during a formative period in his career. This fine art print invites you to experience the tranquil beauty of the Mediterranean coast as seen through Escher's meticulous eye.
