Leonardo Da Vinci also contributed his two cents to Mathematics.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519): essential figure in the history of art and mathematics.

Nor can we forget the genius Leonardo Da Vinci . Genius of math and the arts at the same time. By the way, he was the one to whom we owe the concept of perspective and The Vitruvian Man , resulting from numerous mathematical data. On the other hand, we find the golden number in Italian masterpieces: The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper .
