Abstract: Abstract This research paper delves into the profound interplay between mathematics and visual art, revealing a fundamental correlation rooted in the concept of order. By examining historical periods, particularly the Renaissance and Enlightenment, we illuminate how mathematics catalyzed intellectual and cultural transformations. The Renaissance witnessed a revival of ancient mathematical knowledge, intertwining with the prevailing humanist philosophy. Artists of this era employed mathematical principles, such as perspective and proportion, to bridge the abstract and tangible. In the Enlightenment, mathematical innovation was driven by a commitment to rationality and empirical evidence, mirroring the era’s quest for universal truths. Engaging with theoretical and historical literature, we decode the intricate threads connecting mathematics to the pulse of human knowledge and progress.
