Italian Town — Fine Art

Italian Town by MC Escher shows a street with buildings drawn in measured line work. The drawing uses clean black lines on a pale sheet. The shapes of roofs and walls sit in a steady arrangement. This is a twentieth century drawing made in the graphic print style.

The fine art print sits on a matte sheet, so the black lines stay soft and there is no shine under a lamp. The frame finish can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

It works on a kitchen wall near the sink, where the steady lines settle the busy space. From the doorway you see the black shapes, and at the counter you notice the measured marks.
