The artwork titled “Fara San Martino, Abruzzi” was created by the artist M.C. Escher in the year 1928. This piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork portrays a mountainous village scene, with houses arranged intricately along winding paths. The detailed woodcut technique used in the artwork enhances the texture of the buildings and the surrounding landscape, giving the piece a highly intricate and rhythmic pattern. The undulating contours of the terrain, combined with the geometric structures of the houses, create a visually engaging and almost hypnotic effect, characteristic of Escher’s style. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension, transporting the viewer into a surreal and meticulously constructed world.
