The Dutch printmaker M. C. Escher (born Maurits Cornelis Escher on 17 June 1898, in Leeuwarden) worked in numerous mediums but is perhaps best known for his use of wood engraving and lithography, as well as his creation of highly realistic images that often contain both optical and illusionary effects. Although Escher was not a strong student, he studied between 1919 and 1922 at the School for Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem, where he acquired a deep interest in graphic art.
