Three Worlds is a lithograph by Dutch artist M.C. Escher, created in 1955. The artwork depicts a pond seen from above, combining three visual layers: the reflection of trees above the water, floating leaves on the surface, and a fish swimming below. Escher used this image to explore the coexistence of multiple realities in a single view — a recurring theme in his work.
Interesting anecdote:
In the same year he created Three Worlds, Escher received increasing international recognition. His works began attracting attention from scientists and mathematicians fascinated by his visual explorations of infinity and perspective. Three Worlds became one of his most beloved prints because of its subtle, poetic reflection on perception and reality.
