- London-Based dentist Dr Rory Mac Sweeney identified a hidden equilateral triangle between the Vitruvian Man’s legs, explaining the proportions in da Vinci’s drawing.
- Dr Rory Mac Sweeney uncovered a hidden equilateral triangle in da Vinci’s notes, linking it to Bonwill’s 1864 triangle concept, revealing the drawing’s geometric secret.
- Dr Rory Mac Sweeney analyzed 100 skulls, confirming a cranial ratio of 1.64 ± 0.04 that matches the equilateral triangle ratio in the Vitruvian Man.
- The discovery reclassifies the Vitruvian Man as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific blueprint, highlighting da Vinci’s use of mathematical principles in human proportions.
- This discovery suggests that Leonardo's Vitruvian Man encodes universal mathematical blueprints, potentially prompting reexamination of other Renaissance artworks for similar hidden codes.
