presentation-The vitruvian Man

You might have seen this drawing before, you might even know that leonardo da Vinci drew it. You know, the man with a multi-limbed person who is stuck in square and circle. Do you know anyting more about it? If not, I gonna tell you more about it.

Vitruvian Man was a paintings of a man which was drawn by leonardo da Vinci around the year 1487 and it is stored in Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. The reason why it is called Vitruvian Man is because it was based on the notes of the famed architect, Vitruvian. Leonardo was also interested in anatomy and he wanted to know more about the man. He also did Leonardo depicted a male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square. fun fact about it is, that everybody fits in this proportions. The drawing is also called Canon of Proportions or, less often, Proportions of Man. just like a name, there is a lot of proportions in Vitruvian Man such as:

1.a palm is the width of four fingers

2.a foot is the width of four palms

3.a cubit is the width of six palms

4.a pace is four cubits

5.a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)

6.The length of it is about 18 handbreath or 6feet

etc..........

The Vitruvian Man is now used as a contemporary symbol of medical professionals and medical establishments. Many medical companies have adopted this artwork as the symbol of their group, company or organization, particularly in the United States, Saudi Arabia, India, and Germany. It is now on everything such as euro, text books or t-shirts.
