Snakes is one of my favorite Escher pieces, and to have such a great glimpse into his process and technique is a joy. Thank you so much for making this available!

Snakes is special, it have it´s own meaning. This picture is... I can look at it for hours.

Is amazing that he completed this one and then die, I readed somewhere a letter for a friend from Escher, where he says he can´t sleep at night because he have fear to die before completing this one.

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I have always been fascinated by his work since I visited the Escher exhibition in The Hague.

I always wanted to know how he made those. That was nice to see it happening. The Snakes work is especially impressive; hard to believe he first drew and then carved such detail on blocks of wood.
