Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci コースター

Vitruvian Man, c. 1487 by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is a vintage Renaissance Era fine art portrait painting. A drawing featuring a human anatomy body of a male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square. A great design for someone in the medical profession or a science geek. Sketch from one of Leonardo da Vinci's many journals. Leonardo kept a series of journals in which he wrote almost daily, as well as separate notes and sheets of observations, comments and plans which were left to various pupils and were later bound. Many of the journals have survived to illustrate Leonardo's studies, discoveries and inventions. Most of the journals were written backwards in mirror script. His journals were later published, 165 years after his death.
