Circle Limit may refer to either a series of woodcuts by M.C. Escher or the first of that series, which was followed by Circle Limit II, III, and IV. They have been the subject of a number of mathematical articles, generally in journals of recreational mathematics or those aimed toward mathematical exposition.
[edit] Circle Limit III
H. S. M. Coxeter refers to it as the "most sophisticated" , mathematically, of Escher's artwork.
[edit] Circle Limit IV
The third in the series is sometime called Angels and Devils or Heaven and Hell, referring to the white angels and black devils that tile the picture.
