The Vitruvian Man is a drawing in pencil and ink on paper (34 x 24 cm) by Leonardo da Vinci, dating from around 1490 and kept in the Cabinet of drawings and prints of the Gallerie dell'Accademia of Venice.
Famous representation of the ideal proportions of the human body, demonstrates how it can be harmoniously inscribed in two figures "perfect circle" and the square.
The work is attributed to the period in which Leonardo, travel to Pavia (June 21, 1490), had to know Francesco di Giorgio, which made him a partaker of his treatise of architecture and of the lesson of Vitruvius whose De architectura Martini Treaty had begun to translate some parts.
Leonardo is termed "omo sanza letters", since it had not had an education that would allow him to understand the Latin text.
For this reprocessing in the vernacular of the Vitruvian concepts had to be particularly challenging, especially that of those years is the so-called Manuscript B (Paris, Institut de France), dedicated to urban planning, religious and military architecture.
The design is kept to the Gallerie dell'Accademia from 1822, when the Austrian Government purchased it-along with other twenty-five drawings by Leonardo da Vinci-from the heirs of the milanese collector Giuseppe Bossi.
