Mathematical Art

Geometry is my favorite branch of math. I am a visual learner, so geometry just makes sense to me. I have also always loved art. This post is dedicated to both - art made with math!

Math and art have had a long relationship. Since ancient times the Egyptians and Greeks incorporated mathematical relationships in the design of their most famous monuments. Artists such as Polykleitos, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci and M.C. Escher made use of mathematics in their work.
