Inside St Peter's
1935, wood engraving, 23.7 Χ 31.6 cm

This print presents a very unusual perspective to the viewer.  Escher remarks: 'The convergence of the vertical lines towards the nadir suggests the height of the building in which the viewer finds himself, together with the feeling of vertigo that takes hold of him when he looks down.'  Another remarkable feature of this print is the level of detail achieved in a wood engraving.
