Playing with Leonardo : The Vitruvian Man
Playing with Leonardo : The Vitruvian Man
The famous drawing of Leonardo has become the symbol of western civilization. Inspired by the Roman architect Vitruvius, Leonardo inserted the human body inside a circle and a square, but not considering them separately, but concentrically. With a series of simple and practical examples the author explains us how the square becomes a circle or the circle becomes a square. A new and amusing way to understand the mind of the great Tuscan scientist!
