Metamorphosis III is a woodcut print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher created during 1967 and 1968.

It begins identically to Metamorphosis II, with the word metamorphose (the Dutch form of the word metamorphosis) forming a grid pattern and then becoming a black-and-white checkered pattern.

The angles of the checkered pattern change to elongated diamond shapes.

It then resumes with the Metamorphosis II imagery until the bird pattern.

These winged envelopes then return to the black-and-white triangles and then to the original bird pattern.
