Renaissance

From the figure, craftsman of the Renaissance through the concrete image of the people, reflects the understanding of human beings for the gods and human "person" concept. Leonardo da Vinci ﹝ Leonardo da Vinci ﹞ in accordance with an ancient Roman architect Vitruvius ﹝ Vitruvius based on the  proportion and drawing a perfectly proportioned body image Vitruvian Man ﹝ Vitruvian Man ﹞.The composition of this painting by a circle, a square and a naked man: the sidelines of the square below the cut in the circumference circumscribed point happens to be the midpoint of this edge; body lying on his back within the circle and square coincides with thetangent to the vertex of the head and on the edge of the square, the tangent point also happens to be the midpoint of the edges; feet close together at the tangent point of the circle and square edges, vertical edges of the trunk and up and down both sides of the square, his hands Stretch into180 degrees to the fingertips of both hands just arrived in the square left and right edges, and perpendicular to it. On this basis, the body in the picture put on the second position, feet apart, feet surface intersects with the circle; both hands on the move on the sideline and the circumference of the intersection of the square, just the same with the head. The entire human body, whether it is the first position or second position, within the circle and the square appears to be very symmetrical.

       Vitruvius, the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius once wrote a famous architectural book "﹝ De Architectura ﹞ the book is divided into ten volumes, is the oldest and most influential architectural treatise. Involved in urban planning, the basic principles of architectural design, architectural composition principles, Western classical architecture system, construction of environmental control, building materials, municipal facilities, the architect's training. Since there is no uniform standard of measurement in the construction, Vitruvius in the book about the proportion of the body's natural building measure, and summed up the law of the proportion of body structure.

           Not only the center of the natural body is the navel, because people with open hands and feet, for the supine position, and then to his navel as the center and draw a circle with a compass, then his fingers and toes will be circumferential contact.draw a circle in the human body, and can draw a square in the human body. by foot amount to the top of the head, and this measure moved to open both hands, then you will find the height and width equal, like the planeon a ruler to determine the square.
