    This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as a SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If a SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
    It is recommended to name the SVG file “Escher Paradox Diagram.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

    Summary

    Description
    English: Diagram of the apparent paradox and semiotic joke embodied in M. C. Escher's 1956 lithograph Print Gallery, as discussed by Douglas Hofstadter in his 1980 book Gödel, Escher, Bach. The painting depicts a seaside town containing an art gallery which seems to contain a painting of the seaside town, something being paradoxical about the levels of reality in the image. The artist himself is not seen; his reality and his relation to the lithograph are not paradoxical.
