Golden Ratio/Spiral
or Divine Proportion
Leonardo DaVinci truly
excelled in fields like
anatomy, engineering,
mathematics, science as well
as art.
However, one of the reasons
why Mona Lisa is so
famous is because of
DaVinci’s use of
Mathematical
Proportionality.
The value of the Golden Ratio
The value of the Golden Ratio (or
Divine Proportion) was
discovered by Euclid (Euclid of
Alexandria).
The Golden Ratio has a decimal
value of
