A lithograph by M.C. Escher from 1961, 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year' features a detailed camellia blossom in black and white, showcasing Escher's meticulous attention to detail.

This lithograph by M.C. Escher, titled 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year', was created in 1961. It features a detailed rendering of a camellia blossom, depicted in black and white. Escher, known for his mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints, often explored themes of infinity, tessellation, and impossible constructions. While this work differs from his more typical geometric patterns, it still demonstrates his meticulous attention to detail and mastery of line. The camellia is rendered with careful shading, giving the petals a three-dimensional quality. The flower is positioned as if viewed from slightly below, allowing the viewer to appreciate its layered structure. Below the image of the flower, Escher has included a handwritten greeting, adding a personal touch to the print. A small emblem featuring his initials is also visible. This piece, while a departure from Escher's better-known works, offers insight into his broader artistic capabilities and his interest in natural forms.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Failed his architecture exams, found Moorish tile patterns at the Alhambra, and became the most mathematically inventive printmaker of the century without any maths training.
