Da Vinci’s ‘Vitruvian Man’: Art of inspiration and proportion #IndiaNEWS #Lifestyle
Hyderabad: While the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci is, perhaps, most well-known for his mysterious ‘Mona Lisa’ masterpiece, the polymath’s most significant work, ‘The Vitruvian Man’, impressively illustrates his eclectic blend of art, science and everything in between.
‘The Vitruvian Man’ is a late 15th-century piece of art and a mathematical diagram that tries to convey the idea that “everything connects to everything else?— a quote by Da Vinci himself.
Made in 1490, the drawing intended to define the ideal proportions of the human body. It depicts a human figure inscribed within the two shapes of the circle and square, with four legs and four arms being perfectly balanced and aligned. From this framework, Da Vinci managed to strike 16 hypotheses.
The origin of the idea of the painting was said to be inspired by ‘De Architectura’, a building guide written by Roman architect and engineer Marcus Vitruvius Polio, who lived in the 1st century BC. Written around 30 BC, the short treatise not only focuses on architecture, but explores the geometry and perfect proportions of the human body.
According to ‘Vitruvius’ notes, the principles governing the representation of the human form also applied to architecture in terms of weight, symmetry and proportion. He provides numerous observations about the proportions of the human body in ‘De Architectura’.
