Title: Gardens: The Fascination of Exactness in Figurative Art

Abstract: “Math is not for me, I’m quite an artistic temper!” Should an
aspiring artist of the Fifteenth Century have said so, nobody would have
taken him seriously. How much mathematics is in the fine arts we admire?
And, when there is some math in a piece of art, why on earth did the
artist put it there? A digression on the place of man, of art and of
exactness from ancient Greece to nowadays, via Flemish and Italian
Renaissance.
