Hidden Detail in Crotch Solves 500-Year-Old Leonardo Da Vinci Mystery
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian polymath who painted the Mona Lisa, had a sophisticated geometric understanding way ahead of his time. To draw the Vitruvian Man in 1490 – an illustration of the 'ideal' human body – the Renaissance man may have relied on a mathematical ratio not formally established until the 19th century.
One of the most recognizable images of all time, no one has been able to explain for 500 years. The question arises as to why da Vinci chose those specific proportions
A London dentist proposed a new theory on the proportions of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvius Man, linking mathematics and anatomy. He explains how Vinci would have used state-of-the-art geometrical constructions to code fundamental mathematical relationships in human anatomy.
