Abstract

Considering the art of the Renaissance, it is not difficult to arrive at the conclusion that painting as the representative of the spatial arts is intimately tied to geometry, just as in Ancient Greece, the Pythagoreans recognized that algebra or arithmetic is closely related to music, the representative of the temporal arts. It is interesting to note in this light that the great masters of modern music in Europe did not appear until late in the seventeenth century, with the appearance of such figures as Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) in Germany, and George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), who was also born in Germany, but spent most of his life in England.
