"The book represents well the different ways in which art and mathematics became closely intertwined during the Renaissance, and how one discipline became an inspiration for the other. It builds on previous work by Martin Kemp, Judith Field and Alexander Marr and deserves a place in every collection interested in the relations of art and mathematics."--British Journal for the History of Mathematics"This book is an important scholarly contribution to the history of early modern art and its relation to science and mathematics."--The British Journal for the History of Science
