Maurits Cornelis Escher, born in Leeuwarden and died in Hilversum, is one of the most famous graphic artists in the world. Escher developed this metamorphosis in the late 1930s, inspired by his visit to the Alhambra.

In 'Metamorphose II,' the process begins from left to right with the word 'metamorphose.' This grid then becomes a black-and-white checkered pattern, which subsequently transforms into mosaics of reptiles, a honeycomb, insects, fish, birds, and a pattern of three-dimensional blocks and red peaks. These blocks are eventually connected by a bridge to a tower, a chessboard, and at the end, a checkered wall, which then returns to the word 'metamorphose,' causing the process to start all over again.
