No, not GANTT charts. But the first recognizable data visualization graphs date back to William Playfair around 1786. These included the forerunner of the pie chart. In the 19th Century, there was Florence Nightingale's coxcomb charts of disease rates during the Crimean War, and Miraud's chart of the Napoleon's March to and from Moscow.
