[Art] Virtuvian Man_Italy
This is Leonardo da Vinci's art work from his note. After I watch the movie "Da Vinci's code", I found there are plenty places showing this image. An art and science work, showing human fits in good proportion.
Leonardo is clearly illustrating Vitruvius De Architectura 3.1.3 which reads:
The navel is naturally placed in the centre of the human body, and, if in a man lying with his face upward, and his hands and feet extended, from his navel as the centre, a circle be described, it will touch his fingers and toes. It is not alone by a circle, that the human body is thus circumscribed, as may be seen by placing it within a square. For measuring from the feet to the crown of the head, and then across the arms fully extended, we find the latter measure equal to the former; so that lines at right angles to each other, enclosing the figure, will form a square.
Renaissance is the time that art and science leaping forward. This is one of my favorite. In it, balance, freedom, independence comes to mind. Information quoted from Wiki "Vitruvian man" .(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_Man)
