Escher Castel Sant'Angelo
After various trips to Italy which began in 1921 when he visited Tuscany, Umbria and Liguria, Escher arrived in Rome where he lived for twelve years, from 1923 to 1935, at number 122 of via Poerio, in the old Monteverde neighbourhood. The Roman period had a strong influence on all his subsequent work which saw him prolific in the production of lithographs and engravings, especially of landscapes, views, architecture and views of that ancient and baroque Rome which he loved to investigate in its most intimate dimension, the nocturnal one , in the dim light of a lantern. The nights spent drawing, sitting on a folding chair and with a small torch hanging from his jacket, are counted by Escher among the best memories of that period. In fact, the complete series of 12 Roman Nocturnes produced in 1934 will also be on display at Palazzo Bonaparte. Until May 5, 2024, 100 years after his first visit to the capital in 1923, Escher returns to Rome with the largest and most complete exhibition ever dedicated to him, at Palazzo Bonaparte.
