The [[Matryoshka doll]] is a physical artistic example of the recursive concept.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tang |first1=Daisy |title=CS240 -- Lecture Notes: Recursion|date=March 2013|publisher=California State Polytechnic University, Pomona |url=http://www.cpp.edu/~ftang/courses/CS240/lectures/recursion.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317100946/https://www.cpp.edu/~ftang/courses/CS240/lectures/recursion.htm|archive-date=2018-03-17 |access-date=24 September 2015 |quote=More examples of recursion: Russian Matryoshka dolls. Each doll is made of solid wood or is hollow and contains another Matryoshka doll inside it.
Recursion has been used in paintings since [[Giotto]]'s ''[[Stefaneschi Triptych]]'', made in 1320. Its central panel contains the kneeling figure of Cardinal Stefaneschi, holding up the triptych itself as an offering.<ref>{{cite web |title=Giotto di Bondone and assistants: Stefaneschi triptych |url=http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/PIN/PIN_Sala02_03.html |publisher=The Vatican |access-date=16 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=Physical (A)Causality: Determinism, Randomness and Uncaused Events |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gxBMDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA12 |first=Karl |last=Svozil |year=2018 |publisher=Springer |pages=12| isbn=9783319708157 }}</ref> This practice is more generally known as the [[Droste effect]], an example of the [[Mise en abyme]] technique.
