Abstract
The development of the notion of space in geometry is traced from the early axiomatization in Euclid’s Elements over the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries to geometry of manifolds in relativity theory and in gauge and string theories in contemporary physics. The notion of space is considered in a historic-philosophical perspective including a short discussion of the contributions of artists to visualization of spatial objects.
