    M.C. Escher produced woodcuts inspired by hyperbolic geometry. Through repetition, he aimed to visualize infinity suggested by hyperbolic tilings. Physically, this repetition can only be done a finite number of times. Escher produced four woodcuts based on hyperbolic patterns between 1935-1953, though he claimed not to understand the mathematical background. The lecture analyzes Escher's woodcuts mathematically and discusses possibilities for reconstruction, opening insights into hyperbolic geometry behind these pictures.
