remarkable, but as Islamic geometric pattern specialist Eric Broug pointed out, the patterns of the Alhambra were four or six sided patterns, made under the Nasrid dynasty, and Escher used this. Artists in Mamluk Cairo (1250-1517) and the Seljuq Anatolia (1077-1307) also created five or ten sided patterns which are more difficult since they are irregular and can’t be repeated to the infinite (Broug, 2013, pp. 21-27). Even though Escher took inspiration from “Islamic” geometric patterns, the fact…
