What can one say about Da Vinci's iconic "Vitruvian Man 1492" that hasn't been said before? It's incredible that this beautifully rendered scientific work of art was simply a page from one of Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks.
The drawing is of a nude male figure in two superimposed positions, arms and legs apart, standing perfectly balanced within a circle and square. There can be no finer example of the fusion of art and science - the lessons that Renaissance man learned about geometry, proportions, symmetry, and mathematics and, more importantly, how these can be applied to the natural world are here for all to see.
