Hug #6 with elephant #1: JuMboW Turner!
Turner was Professor of Perspective at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1807-1837. This period coincided with developments in projective geometry; Turner's lectures included decidedly mathematical diagrams.

Hug #7 with elephant #6: Vincent van Trunk!

In the early 2000s the eddies in van Gogh's The Starry Night were discovered to closely agree with a mathematical formulation of turbulence that was only developed in the 1940s

...and added new ones that we wouldn't, yet we can still see that Elmer's an elephant. There's a pretty good analogy for mathematical abstraction in there somewhere.

Hug #5 with elephant #12, a Monetphant!

Around the time of Monet's water lilies, art and maths underwent profound change, leaving classical rules to explore greater abstraction and redefinition. No coincidence that this happened in parallel!
