Im Leben von Maurits Cornelis Escher
Das ganze LebenNovember 1922 – August 1923
Siena: the first solo exhibition
Back in Italy, Escher settled in Siena in November 1922, where his first solo exhibition took place in August 1923 — he managed to sell one work.
March 1923 – 12 May 1924
Jetta Umiker: from Ravello to the wedding
In March 1923 in Ravello Escher first met Jetta (Giulietta) Umiker, the daughter of a Swiss industrialist who until 1917 had managed two textile factories at Nakhabino near Moscow; he declared himself at the last moment, when her family was already leaving for Switzerland. They became engaged and married on 12 May 1924 in Viareggio; on their honeymoon — via Genoa, Annecy, Paris and Brussels — the couple travelled to Oosterbeek, and then returned to live in Italy.
