The golden number

All kinds of artists have used the golden ratio in art throughout the ages. One artist who, I think was influenced by the golden ratio and probably decided to use this concept in much of his art, was Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci's talent as an artist may well have been outweighed by his talents as a mathematician. He incorporated geometry into many of his paintings, with the golden ratio being just one of his many mathematical tools.

Portrait of My Dead Brother.

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was born on May 11, 1904  in the town of Figures, in the Empordá region close to the French border in Catalonia, Spain. Dalí's older brother, also named Salvador (born October 12, 1901), had died of gastroenteritis nine months earlier, on August 1, 1903. After birth, the painter was named after his dead brother (similarly to Van Gogh).

Of his brother, Dalí said,... "(we) resembled each other like two drops of water, but we had different reflections."

In  Portrait of My Dead Brother, Dalí emulates the dot pattern seen in half-tone newspaper photographs. The face of the boy is created by a dot matrix, a technique that was widely used in the  Pop Art period of the Sixties. 

Beneath the boy is a miniature depiction of Millet´s The Angelus. Dalí believed that trough an X-ray of The Angelus, it would be proved that the basket over with the couple are praying was initially the coffin for  a child. Salvador Dalí was fascinated by this work, and wrote and analysis for it. The Tragic Myth of The Angelus of Millet.

M. C. Escher

Maurist Cornelis Escher was a artist very famous. He was from Holland, and he was born in 1898. He did many woodcuts, lithographs, paintings with brilliant images... He could paint many visual effects like depth or volume, and he do imaginary worlds with many optical ilusions and imposible objects. He was like the simetry, and he was an special artist because he didn't have an specific theme to reproduce in his works.
I think Escher was amazing, because he used difficult techniques and mathematics in his works.
I put here some images, but I recommend you to visist this page.

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS

An optical illusion is an illusion of our sight sense, that makes us perceive the reality wrongly. This illusions are used in some arts, like cinema or paintings. In arts, they're called trompe-l'oeils:

There are many types of optical illusions. Some of them are:

- Stereoscopic images: if you cross your eyes lightly, you can mix two similar images to create a 3-dimensions one.

- Autostereogram: if you cross your eyes standing 30 cm in front of these images, you'll see as if it had 3-dimensions relief. In the first one you'll see a heart, in the second one, a shark.

- Motion illusions: if you move your head towards and backwards the picture, looking at the point of the centre, you'll see the two circles move.

- Other effects: In the first case, all the lines are pallalel, even though they don't seem to be. In the second image, the two circles are the same size.

THE GOLDEN NUMBER

 THE GOLDEN NUMBER

The golden number was dicovered by Greek mathematicians and disciples of Pythagoras during the sixth century. It is about and harmonic geometrical figure in wich Greeks found a perfectly balances regulated  (with equal sides) pentagon, in wich inside which they could make a five-armed star called pentacle . 


When they made the ratios between different parts of the pentacles, the number 1.618 was found by tens of times. This irrational number is considered the symbol of the harmony.
It appears lots of times for example the golden number  appears in "La Sagrada Familia" by Miguel Angel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia

Giulia Farnese (1474 – 23 March 1524) was mistress to Pope Alexander VI. She was known asGiulia la bella, meaning "Julia the beautiful", in Italian. Lorenzo Pucci described her as "most lovely to behold". Cesare Borgia, son of Alexander VI, described her as having "dark colouring, black eyes, round face and a particular ardor"

A restoration of the painting in 1934-36 confirmed art historian Roberto Longhi's hypothesis that the work was by Raphael, and the removal of heavy repainting revealed the unicorn, traditionally a symbol of purity in medieval romance, in place of a Saint Catherine's wheel. Later restoration work on the painting in 1959 revealed the image of a dog, even earlier than the unicorn, also a symbol of chastity and conjugal fidelity

The Golden Number

The  golden number is found in the design and beauty of nature and also be used to achieve beauty and balance forming a good proportion. The golden section is also called the divine proportion (generally in the Renaissance period)

The golden section was used by Leonardo da vinci. “The last supper” was based on the golden section, golden rectangles are the most visually and they’re based on a mathematical radio.
