M.C. Escher remains the undisputed king of visual paradoxes. 🎨

Even when modern tech decodes his illusions, the real magic is how he dreamt up such complex compositions using nothing but a pencil and pure imagination. It is a humbling reminder that while computers are fast, the human mind is the original engine of infinite complexity. 🧠

Die Mathematik-Erklär-Videos von #3Blue1Brown sind eigentlich immer lohnenswert. Hier erklärt Grant Sanderson die Mathematik hinter M.C. Eschers Werk "Druckgalerie" und geht der Frage nach, was sich wohl im Zentrum des Bildes befinden könnte.

Wonderful analysis and animated recreation of M.C. Escher's "Picture Gallery" by 3B1B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldxFjLJ3rVY

The 2003 paper by De Smit and Lenstra who as number theorists were intimately familiar with elliptic functions ("doubly periodic complex functions") at the heart of the image https://pub.math.leidenuniv.nl/~smitbde/papers/2003-de_smit-lenstra-escher.pdf

I grew up in Baarn where Escher lived for a while but only learned later that he lived on the same street! D'oh. Of course we were separated by 35 years.
