Description
The Vitruvian Man is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, dated c. 1490. Inspired by the writings of the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, the drawing depicts a nude man in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and inscribed in both a circle and square. Described by the art historian Carmen C. Bambach as "justly ranked among the all-time iconic images of Western civilization," the work is a unique synthesis of artistic and scientific ideals. It is often considered an archetypal representation of the High Renaissance.
