Metamorphosis I is a woodcut print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was first printed in May 1937. This piece measures 19.5 by 90.8 centimetres (7.7 in × 35.7 in) and is printed on two sheets.The concept of this work is to morph one image into a tessellated pattern then gradually to alter the outlines of that pattern to become an altogether different image. From left to right the image begins with a depiction of the coastal Italian town of Atrani (see Atrani Coast of Amalfi).
