This book explores the intersection of mathematics, art, and culture during the Renaissance, revealing how artists such as Uccello, della Francesco, and Da Vinci used geometric principles to create visually stunning works. A period of great cultural change, the Renaissance saw a resurgence of classical art and philosophy, alongside new ideas flowing from the Islamic Middle East.
