Vitruvian man Image Depository

Greetings,

Exploring the possibilities pertaining to the geometry within this particular work of art and the possible hidden intentions of Leonardo, if any.

Interaction with a reduced Tree of Life, placed at quarter points which mimics the cross of anthropos. The revealed 8 limbed Croix is reminiscent of the Cross of The Hospitallers and Templars.

Exploring the interaction with a larger tree and the correspondence in angular position as the elevated cross section of the Great Pyramid.

Greetings Latona,

Would Leonardo, or any of the other enlightened artists of the Renaissance, and before and after, paint to measurement as they do, unintentionally? Not possible, for geometry could not be thus imposed on the paintings. The face is also most expressive and impressive, perhaps a bit stern, but I have no doubt, intentional.

It is what methinks
