The latest Escher Today
16 October 2025
Doris Schattschneider, Escher expert and retired professor of mathematics, was a guest speaker at the annual Bridges mathematics conference. This year, the conference was held in Eindhoven in July. She presented her research into Escher's design for wrapping paper for the Bijenkorf department store, for which Escher turned to his hobby of what he called "word-puzzles".
About Escher
Escher was a printmaker, but what exactly is that? Read the pages below to find out more about the techniques he used: woodcut, wood engraving, linocut, lithography, etching and mezzotint. Each of them has its own particular qualities, so the prints made using these techniques differ in terms of their complexity and visual character.

Escher in The Palace is organising a unique concert in which the world-famous prints of M.C. Escher merge in surprising ways with music and mathematics. Classical music forms the common thread, interspersed with fascinating discussions on themes from Escher's oeuvre, the mathematics of Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing, and the compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach.

From 20 November 2025 to 15 March 2026, Escher The Palace will be exhibiting the marvellous work of printmaker Anne Desmet. Like Escher, she is a master of graphic techniques, from lino and litho to woodcut and wood engraving. The work of a printmaker is truly a craft and requires utmost concentration, mastery of the material and a steady hand. Would you like to understand how the mesmerizing prints of Anne Desmet and Escher are made? Then come to this workshop at Escher in The Palace on Saturday 22 November.
