Vitruvian Man — Leonardo da Vinci, poster

Leonardo da Vinci's c.1490 pen-and-ink anatomical study, taken from Gallerie dell'Accademia's high-resolution archive, on archival fine art paper.

Drawn around 1490 in Venice, Vitruvian Man is Leonardo's visual proof of human proportion — a male figure inscribed in a circle and square, each ratio calculated from Vitruvius's ancient text. The drawing isn't about realism; it's about geometry made flesh. Leonardo believed the human body was a microcosm, that understanding its measures was understanding the universe. The pen line is delicate but absolute.
