ART

It would be difficult for most people to articulate exactly what it is that they find pleasing in art and other things of beauty. Proportion would be an easy place to begin when attempting that description. As we all have come to learn is that Fibonacci is everywhere. So why not 14th century art? I mean really? Well guess what? Fibonacci is there also.

There is proven evidence that Leonardo Da Vinci used theories proposed by Fibonacci. In his famous painting, Mona Lisa, there seems to be a pattern to his
work. The pattern
is the Golden ratio

is what makes the
work so aesthetically
pleasing to the human
eye. As we all know
the Mona Lisa is
considered to
be one of the greatest
paintings in history.

Many other famous painters have used the Fibonacci systems to create beautiful paintings. Ever heard of a guy named Seurat? One of his famous paintings is La Parade. It is a masterpiece filled with Fibonacci's math. The painting is divided into golden sections using a perfect mathematical proportion. Once again Fibonacci makes an incredible appearance.
