Felt it was time to try recreate another classic work of art this time the Da Vinci classic Vitruvian Man.
I got a little tired to be honest and it's not quite as well finished as I wanted.
Still behind, must find time to process the shots I have....
Have been suffering with a pulled muscle in my back for the last few days - and have been 'laid up'...which reminded me of Frida Kahlo. So, whereas she didn't quite make it into my dissertation, she has now made it onto my 'Mini Masters and Mini Mistresses' sketch panel - lucky her!!!
And this is the original Vitruvian Man by Da Vinci. Now, doesn't my bell pepper hold a remarkable resemblance?

Leonardo da Vinci's 1480 'Vitruvian Man' forms the basis for
a recent exercise based upon a United States Air Force body scanning program. Just over 500 years after Leonardo da Vinci’s death, data scientists from West Point worked with Art Teacher Maura Boucher to remeasure the proportions of his famous drawing the Vitruvian Man. The study’s intended goal was to bring together art, history, modern technology and data science to examine one of the most well-known drawings in the world.
Maura Boucher was a collaborator with the research team on the study. She was grateful that this study was able to demonstrate the practical applications of art to other disciplines. “People think that art and mathematics are disparate fields and do not realize how closely related they are,” Ms. Boucher said. “I felt at home working with the data scientists and transferring their analysis to images we can compare visually.”
West Point (USMA) data scientists upgraded Leonardo da Vinci’s manually measured human bodies by using automatically assessed measurements from over 63,000 Air Force basic training recruits. The participants were scanned using a 3D body image device for the purpose of uniform sizing. West Point Assistant Professor Major David Galbreath and the team of researchers were surprised that the results of the study conflicted with their initial hypothesis. “We expected to see differences in the proportions, but were surprised to see how close they were,” Major Galbreath said. “Leonardo da Vinci did not have the precise measurement tools we have today and concepts like sample means and standard deviations were developed long after his time. Yet our final proportions were not that different than his conclusions.”
While the study aimed to study the Vitruvian Man, the team was also able to create a first of its kind Vitruvian Woman. Leonardo da Vinci had drawn women, most famously the Mona Lisa, however it did not appear that women were included in his anatomy studies. They found from their research that the proportions for Leonardo da Vinci’s men were surprisingly similar for women.
Air crew in particular most fit within demanding profiles in terms of height and weight and facial physical characteristics to ensure a good fit with oxygen equipment - facilitated the creation of tis update.

The Vitruvian Man Cat

A drawing I did of Man Cat in Leonardo Da Vinci's The Vitruvian Man. I did this one awhile ago and I am (and was) quite proud of it.

When Art meets Science.
A deep meditation on the sense of the ‘Sacred’ and the Eternity, of the Life and the Universe, of the Knowledge and the Consciousness of ourselves. It’s also a paean to Scientific Cognition and particularly to beauties of Physics. This my painting-masterpiece tries to summarize the various levels of Eternity that the Nature, the Life, the Man and the Culture attempt to acquire.

Of the two architecture projects, I like this one the most, for several reasons. First, the image of the Pont du Gard was so beautiful, that it would have been a crime not to include at least half of it. Second, since this piece was done on Marco Vitruvius, I wanted to create a connection between today's architecture and its connection to ancient Roman design (old vs new). Lastly, the contrast between the image and the textured illustration makes draws the eye in to both sides.

A map in order to read and understand the complex painting “Degrees of Eternity”. You can find my own detailed analysis of this puzzle on web: search Google for Gradi di Eternità (Italian analysis) or Degrees of Eternity (English analysis)!
