An extraordinary exhibition is coming to the Altinate San Gaetano Cultural Center in Padua that showcases the work of an artist capable of transforming geometry and mathematics into pure art.

A not-to-be-missed event, designed for adults and children, art and science enthusiasts, to discover the unique work of one of the most fascinating geniuses of the twentieth century.

Curated by Federico Giudiceandrea, one of the leading collectors and world experts on Escher, the exhibition guides visitors into the imaginative and surprising universe of this extraordinary Dutch artist.

Born in 1898 in the Netherlands, M.C. Escher managed to fuse art and mathematics into a distinctive visual language, capable of challenging perception and captivating entire generations.
