Happy 127th Birthday to M. C. Escher, born on June 17, 1898, in Leeuwarden, Friesland, the Netherlands.

Like other famous artists such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rubens, Escher was left-handed. Escher was forced at school to become ‘double-handed’, which was beneficial for his artform.
