It reveals hidden details, assesses condition, and preserves the painting for the future, while educating visitors on Rembrandt’s techniques and history. It was kind of cool to see this work in progress.

Escher's uses of lithographs and woodcuts to create his works. Lithography, using oil and water repulsion, allows smooth shading and fine detail, creating subtle textures. Woodcuts, carved from wood, yield bold lines and high contrast, producing a graphic, tactile look. Lithographs highlight Escher's precision and delicate tones. Woodcuts are painstaking and labor intensive and focus on strong patterns and contrasts. Escher's use of lithographs and woodcuts illustrates different artistic talents.
