Circle Limit III 1959

"Circle Limit III," a 1959 lithograph by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, showcases his signature use of tessellations and impossible spaces. The artwork depicts a series of black and white birds, each with a distinctive "eye," that repeat in a shrinking pattern towards a vanishing point. The birds are arranged in concentric circles, creating a sense of depth and perspective that is simultaneously impossible and captivating. The intricate design is reminiscent of the infinite nature of mathematical fractals, a theme Escher explored throughout his career.
