Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man is frequently used to advertise other venues, but the real one is only in the Accademia and rarely displayed.
Visit the Gallerie dell’Accademia, the top art museum in Venice, to see masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Veronese, Tintoretto, and, with a bit of luck, Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.

The Imperfection of the vitruvian woman
Leonardo da Vinci's pen and ink drawing of The Vitruvian Man displayed perfect proportion...mine, not so much! Which fits well with my New Year's Resolution to accept my imperfections but not let them stop me from doing what I want or need to do.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man (Uomo vitruviano) is by far the most famous and most important work in the collection of the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. Unfortunately, it is rarely displayed due to its fragility. It was displayed in 2025 and it may be several years before it is shown again.
"We kindly inform our visitors that, for conservation purposes, the viewing of Leonardo da Vinci's drawing Study of the Proportions of the Human Body, commonly known as the Vitruvian Man, is timed.
The drawing is visible for 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of darkening, achieved by lowering a curtain."

My expansion on Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man."
Leonardo based his drawing on some hints at correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry in Book III of the treatise De Architectura by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, thus its name. Vitruvius described as the principal source of proportion among the orders of architecture the proportion of the human figure.

The Vitruvian Man with red neons.
Behind "The Man", massive metal gears were supposed to allow participants to rotate the "Vitruvian Man", but the under-engineered system broke and could not be repaired before the end of the Burning Man week.

This is my attempt at Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
This is my first "multi-limb" shot. And also brought to you by the new tripod and the new "studio" area, as I was able to do an overhead shot from the stairway landing. The FDT version was the actual shot, this is rotated 90 degrees.
One of these days I will learn textures (it probably is pretty straightforward, but I have a psychological block and I run out of energy at night).
And, the floor was cold.
Two tabs of blotter acid which depicted Da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man'. One Vitruvian Man for every 25 squares, it was double sided sheet, on the reverse side it showed Leonardo Da Vinci flying machine among other drawings, with the words 'Cracking The Code', the whole sheet consisted of 500 squires, Da Vinci acid was in circulation around 2006.
Notes: image shows front and back sides of the blotter.

[Hello and thank you for checking out my photographs, I would like to build up an archive of vintage blotter from as far back as I can, but vintage blotter tabs aren’t the easiest of things to come across, so I need your help, if anyone has the odd tab or two that’s been kept from years ago, I’m only interested in single or a couple of tabs and not whole sheets, I would like to purchase or even lend these from you, if you don’t want to sell I will post them back to you once I have photographed them, I will also send you a packet or two of any poppy seeds that I have available. I know this is a long shot but I think that it is still worth trying; remembering I am only interested in vintage blotter, thank you for your time!]

Ever have the vague feeling the Penobscot Building is staring at Detroit? I superimposed Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" over a plan of the building and discovered the building shares certain key proportions with the human body, particularly those of the arms, neck and face.
It is unlikely that the similarity is coincidental. The building's designer, Wirt Rowland, an architect, artist, and musician, was well-studied in symmetry, geometry and proportion--the underlying principles of all art. Once the general size and shape of the building were determined, Rowland would have approached the problem of final design using these tools.
As Rowland sought to find some aesthetic scheme to determine where to place the setbacks in the top section of the building, perhaps he noticed the similarity in the proportions of the building to those of the human body. Rowland might have considered an opportunity to utilize the human body as a model too good to pass up.
Artists, architects and sculptors have used these proportions since ancient times. In Book III of his Ten Books on Architecture, the Roman writer Vitruvius states: "The design of a temple depends on symmetry, the principles of which must be most carefully observed by the architect. Without symmetry and proportion there can be no principles in the design". Vitruvius goes on to describe in great detail the symmetrical relationships between the human body and its various parts.He points out that "it was from the members of the body that (the Greeks) derived the fundamental ideas of the measures which are obviously necessary in all works", and "it was by employing them that the famous painters and sculptors of antiquity attained great renown".
A towering "Tin Man" greets visitors to the courtyard between Lind Hall and the new mechanical engineering facilities. The whimsical "Platonic Figure," a 35-foot-tall, 6,000-pound stainless steel statue stands on seven-foot limestone columns near the Mechanical Engineering Building's south entrance. Award-winning Minneapolis sculptor Andrew Leicester, who has created 20 major public artworks in the U.S., designed the sculpture as a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing "Vitruvian Man."
The piece, dubbed Tin Man by University faculty and staff, stands with feet apart, arms raised, holding a curved steel bar. The sculpture's torso and limbs are created with conical forms, while its helmet-like head is reminiscent of robots depicted in 1950s pop culture.
Tradition says that bad luck curse to those who dare walk between its legs.

Homage to Leonardo, the Vitruvian Man, by Italian sculptor Enzo Plazzotta (1921-81), completed by his assistant Mark Holloway in 1982, and sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. John M Harbert III, of Birmingham, Alabama, is the only statue that sits within the fenced private garden of Belgrave Square. It shows the very recognizable 8-limbed figure in a bronze circle.
Belgrave Square was laid out by the property contractor Thomas Cubitt for the 2nd Earl Grosvenor in the 1820s. The Grosvenor family was descended from the chief hunter to Dukes of Normandy before the Conquest, and became immensely rich from mines in the north, and later as landlords. The Belgravia area had been a marshy one, with a topsoil of clay, which Cubitt removed, made bricks from, and so exposed the underlying gravel on which to build. 'Belgrave' was a lesser title of Earl Grosvenor, and so the Square was named.
The square consists of four terraces, each made up of eleven very grand white stuccoed houses; detached mansions in three of the corners; and a private central garden. From its construction until World War II, the square was occupied by leading members of the British aristocracy, with an increasing number of plutocrats added to the mix in later decades. It is also, and remains to this day, the home of a number of embassies--- the earliest one being the Austrian embassy in the 19th Century. The present Duke of Westminster remains the freeholder of the square.
In all, there are 5 statues surrounding the square including Sir Robert Grosvenor, Simón Bolívar, The Don José de San Martín, and Christopher Columbus.

Slippery when wet, and that steel stuff going over my head might hurt...longer footage later when we delete more stuff... More like:'Mad Man Exits from Across the Water'...

Why do I make this stuff?? Technique to be refined, Promise!
Saggy inflatables to be replaced with artfully painted styrofoam,, and the yellow folding cycle snugly tied down to protect pilot's noggin, mayhap a helmet might also be recommended, Eh?

In my ever-ceasing quest to conquer the kinetic sculpture race challenges of sand, , mud, hills and road, I have simpilfied ad absurdum.. Here I am at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, at the dunes to test whether my silly idea to roll my home-built German gymnastics wheel on, up, and Down dunes of sand is ridiculous or sublime...
So far so good! Though the next step, of many, is to have the folding road wheels in place, and then to try this silliness with flotation, life jacket, paddle, etc. on board..and worn or stowed such that I do not accidentally perform a self-evisceration in the name of art.....
You be the judge!! 5 1/2 revolutions and I didn't lose my hat. The technique refined : www.youtube.com/watch?v=21M2nUh4jlc

(2018) Da Vinci in Red
A tribute to Leonardo da Vinci (Apr 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) for his 566th birthday.
The composition comprises Head of a girl (1483), Vitruvian Man (1485), the Last Supper (1498), and Mona Lisa (1503), in the tone of a Portrait of a Man in Red (1512), allegedly his self portrait.

Note that the photograph was obviously taken during orbital “night”. Additionally, McCandless is flying MMU no. 2, which, based on the cursorily documented footage I’ve come across, suggests this to be EVA no. 2. It was during this EVA that McCandless tested Trunion Pin Attachment Device (TPAD) operations. However, the TPAD is not attached at this point, so if this is indeed from EVA no. 2, I assume it’s either at the beginning or end of it. Or not. Regardless, it’s a super rare kick-ass photograph.

My take on da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man"
Treasure Map texture by Skeletal Mess.
The brooding power and mystery of Bramante's Tempietto is brought out in this artistic photographic interpretation. Number six in a series of artistic interpretations of the Tempietto of Bramante in Rome. Sitting atop Rome's highest hill, the Tempietto was the primary geographic focus for Leonardo da Vinci's masterwork--the Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde.

The Tempietto: built in Rome by Bramante, Leonardo da Vinci's friend. Together they created a joint project to express the religious doctrine of the "Two Faces of the Soul." Bramante's architectural achievement was matched by Leonardo's painting of the Mona Lisa, which was a personification of the small chapel which sits at the top of the Janiculum hill--the site of the mythical citadel of the Sun-god Janus. Number four in a series of artistic interpretations of the Tempietto of Bramante in Rome. The Tempietto was the primary geographic focus for Leonardo da Vinci's masterwork--the Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde.
