What are the technical specifications of the paper used for this Escher print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) museum-quality paper. It is a natural white, matte, and uncoated archival paper that ensures long-term durability and prevents glare, making it ideal for the high-contrast details of M.C. Escher’s work.
Is the frame made of real wood?
Yes, the frame is crafted from responsibly sourced, FSC-certified oak and ash wood. It features a sophisticated 20mm (0.79") thickness and width, providing a sturdier and more premium appearance than standard gallery frames.
How is the artwork protected from damage?
Each print is shielded by high-quality, shatterproof plexiglass. This provides the clarity of glass while offering superior protection and safety during shipping and display in your home.
Does the framed print arrive ready to hang?
Absolutely. Every framed art print from RedKalion includes a professional hanging kit. Your artwork arrives fully assembled and ready to be displayed on your wall immediately upon arrival.
What makes this an archival-grade reproduction?
Our prints use acid-free, FSC-certified materials that meet museum standards. The 250 gsm paper and archival inks ensure the artwork will not yellow or fade, maintaining its aesthetic value for decades.
What inspired Escher to create "Between St. Peter and the Sistine Chapel" in 1936?
This piece reflects Escher’s fascination with Roman architecture and perspective. Created in March 1936, it highlights his mastery of light and shadow within the narrow, monumental corridors of the Vatican, just before his shift toward surreal mathematical art.
Is the perspective in this Escher piece historically accurate?
While Escher was known for his later "impossible" perspectives, this 1936 work is a testament to his skill in realistic architectural rendering. It accurately depicts the spatial relationship between the two iconic structures while emphasizing dramatic verticality.
