The Droste Effect

The Dutch chocolate maker Droste is famous for the visual effect on its boxes of cocoa. The image contains itself on a smaller scale. This is called the "Droste effect" in any good Dutch dictionary. [Example]

Escher was a Dutch artist of the 1950's. His painting "Prentententoonstelling"(1956) has embedded Droste Effect and also has a spiral grid which is unique. A website is aiming at visualizing the mathematical structure behind Escher's Print Gallery. Make sure you watch the animations from these links: Droste Picture and Escher Picture.
