The Vitruvian Man
Replica, based on the original by Leonardo da Vinco (ca. 1490)
Da Vinci tended to compensate for his lack of education in the classical sense with an excess of empirical studies. The most famous of these is the Vitruvian Man so-called because it is based on a description of the ideal human proportions by Roman architect Vitruvius (around 85-20 BC).
