The Palladium Landscape

Geometry was the renaissance measure of man, that cultural invention of the years of discovery, whom the Renaissance philosopher Giovanni Pico della Mirandela placed widpoint between heaven and earth, angel and animal, and whom Leonardo located perfectly within circle ans square.

Music, art and science were all structured around mathematical harmonies (mathesis), each disclosing the coherency of the universe and embracing the full metaphorical range of measure described above.

Geometry uunited humanity and nature; it was the secret measure by which God's original creation had been ordered and sustained.
