In Upper Paleolithic, the examples are more abundant carvings or engravings objects that evolved from a more primitive stage, decorations schematic, reaching figures representing adapted to structure of bone .
Mathematics became his main aid, applying to all arts certain principles and laws, such as the prospect. Great patron emerged as the Medici popes of Rome and Florence, plus cardinals, princes and unions.
