Maurits
Cornelis (M.C.) Escher was born on June 17, 1898, in the
Dutch province of Friesland. His parents, George Arnold
Escher and Sarah Gleichman Escher, had three sons of which
Maurits (called Mauk for short) was the youngest. His
father, George, was a civil engineer.
At a young age, Escher was encouraged by his father to
learn carpentry and other craft skills. Though he was
not a very good student in general, his artistic talent
was apparent early in his schooling. He was encouraged
by his family and friends to pursue this interest in a
regular career, namely architecture.
