Created in 1937, 'Still Life and Street' represents a pivotal moment in M.C. Escher's exploration of impossible spaces, marking his transition into the realm of mathematical and graphic illusion. This masterpiece of Classical Graphic Realism seamlessly merges a domestic tabletop still life with an Amalfi street scene, defying traditional perspective with architectural precision. To preserve the integrity of Escher's intricate linework, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, ensuring the composition is experienced exactly as the artist intended.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
