MC Escher. Not exactly obscure, but it seems like people only talk about his tessellations (which are interesting, desu).

I like the connections his work has with mathematics (such as in his hyberbolic geometry pieces, or when he inspired the Lionel Penrose to create the Penrose triangle), and how he demonstrates such mastery of perspective, to the extent that he breaks the rules in a very impressive, coordinated, way.

For example, this piece shows the same scene from the different perspectives, but manages to blend them seamless. Idk if it's online, but IIRC he basically used 3 interlocking curved perspective grids to create the print. Really a fascinating and non-obvious (at least to me) approach.
