Abstract Leonardo figures
Abstract Leonardo figures. Conceptual computer artwork of a male and a female figure depicted in the pose drawn by the Italian scientist and artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). Leonardos original artwork is called Vitruvian Man, after Vitruvius, an Ancient Roman architect who stated that the human form with arms and legs extended could be fitted into both a circle and a square. Leonardos drawing successfully demonstrated this. The square shows that human height is typically equal to the span of the arms. The linking of the human form to the square and the circle was thought to reflect an underlying symmetry in the world. Vitruvian Man is one of the worlds most widely used symbols

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the abstract interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic figures. Inspired by his renowned artwork, Vitruvian Man, this conceptual computer artwork beautifully captures the essence of symmetry and balance in human anatomy. The male and female figures are depicted in the same pose as Leonardo's original drawing, symbolizing the harmonious connection between man and woman. Leonardo's groundbreaking discovery that the human form could be perfectly fitted into both a circle and a square is visually represented here. The square represents the equal height of a person compared to their arm span, while the circle signifies an underlying symmetry present in our world. Dating back to the 15th century, this illustration holds immense historical significance as one of Leonardo da Vinci's most celebrated works. It serves as a testament to his genius as both a scientist and artist during that era. The duo portrayed in this artwork exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to contemplate their own place within this timeless concept. This mesmerizing piece seamlessly combines artistry with scientific exploration, making it an ideal addition for enthusiasts interested in history, anatomy, or simply appreciating thought-provoking visuals. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable print capturing not only Leonardo da Vinci's artistic brilliance but also his profound understanding of human form and its relationship with nature itself.
