The life and work of Matthias Greischer * Very little is known about the life and work of Matthias Greischer. According to the written sources that were accepted as authentic still a few years ago, Greischer was born in Frankfurt. In the 1670s in Vienna working as a drawer and plate-engraver for various Georg Matthäus Vischer's Topographie and died in 1712. 1 However, according to recent research, Matthias Greischer was born in Sankt Martin (today's Šmartno pri Litiji,) in Krain (presently: Slovenia) and was baptized on 20 February 1659. He became an orphan while still a little child, as his father, Georgius Greischer died in 1668. Presumably, he completed his studies in Laibach (today's Ljubljana), in the six grades' grammar school run by the Society of Jesus religious order. There he met Johann Anton Thalnitscher (Janez Anton Dolničar), who later became the vicar general of Laibach. 2 At the start of his career as an artist (drawer and plate-engraver) Grescher joined Johann Weikhard Valvasor, a scientist, patron of arts and historian living in the castle of Wagensberg (Bogenšperk), at a distance of only a couple of kilometres from Greischer's birthplace.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898–1972) is one of the world’s most famous graphic artists of impossible structures (e.g. “Ascending and Descending”) and transformation prints (e.g. “Metamorphosis I-II-III”). Currently, one can see his work on posters, book covers, calendars, wall hangings, and many web sites enjoyed by millions of people all over the world (1).
His exquisite and mind boggling pictures are drawn from the mathematical world of symmetry, topology, transformational geometry, and regular divisions of the plane. At the same time, they exhibit a rich and artistic talent unrivaled by most. Furthermore, respected scientists have realized that his works are simple illustrations of sophisticated theories (2). For instance, mathematician D.J. Lewis indicates that Escher’s prints entail a systematic approach combined with an ingenious argument similar to the most beautiful results in algebra. In 1952, Herman Weyl, a Princeton mathematician, used Escher’s famous work “Symmetry” for his book cover. Escher’s rendering of “Horseman” was used by Chen Ning Yang, a physicist and Nobel Prize winner, to illustrate his new hypothesis involving symmetry and its application to quantum physics (3). Escher has
