When did M.C. Escher create the Citadel of Calvi, Corsica?
Escher created this work in 1928. It represents his early landscape period, where he focused on the dramatic perspectives and architectural rhythms of Mediterranean towns before transitioning into his more famous 'impossible' mathematical art.
Is this an 'impossible' perspective drawing by Escher?
No, the Citadel of Calvi is a representational landscape. While it showcases Escher's burgeoning interest in complex geometry and perspective, it reflects a real-world location in Corsica rather than his later surrealist or paradoxical constructions.
