Vitruvian Man Study of proportions, from Vitruvius's De Architectura
|
This study of the proportions of the human body is related to both a square and circle. The centre of the square is at the genitals and that of the circle at the navel, while the outstretched arms provide a square with the height and the spread legs and arms meeting the circumference of the circle. It is somewhat artificial structuring but it provides a canon of proportion which has been related to the Vitruvian model from the writings of the first century BCE Roman architect. |
