拍品专文

"Where architecture is concerned, I have been heavily influenced in my pictures by southern Italian structures, in which one can often recognize Norma, Romanesque, Saracen and Moorish influences. I am, among other things, crazy about domes like bread rolls and flat, white-washed rooftops and stucco walls. I saw almost all of these elements on the Amalfi coast (Positano, Amalfi, Atrani, Maiori, Minori, Ravello). What speaks in my pictures is a form of nostalgia for the sunny south."

- M.C. Escher, journal entry, Amalfi coast, 1969
