{"product_id":"droste-1863-1988","title":"Droste 1863 - 1988","description":"The Droste effect (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdrɔstə]), known in art as an example of mise en abyme, is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This produces a loop which in theory could go on forever, but in practice only continues as far as the image's resolution allows.\r\nThe effect is named after a Dutch brand of cocoa, with an image designed by Jan Misset in 1904. It has since been used in the packaging of a variety of products. The effect is seen in the Dutch artist M. C. Escher's 1956 lithograph Print Gallery, which portrays a gallery that depicts itself. Apart from advertising, the Droste effect is displayed in the model village at Bourton-on-the-Water: this contains a model of itself, with two further iterations. The effect has been a motif, too, for the cover of many comic books, where it was especially popular in the 1940s.","brand":"Boekhandel Bloks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46936133370200,"sku":"","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/6859\/3841\/products\/vSgiJhE.jpg?v=1688400334","url":"https:\/\/boekhandelbloks.cfd\/en\/products\/droste-1863-1988","provider":"Boekhandel Bloks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
