I can't believe I never really knew what the Vitruvian man was all about. I thought it was just some kind of iconic study in anatomy and some natural ratios (artists do love their ratios). But, of course, Leonardo was thinking about much more than that.
Leonardo da Vinci learned anatomy from actual human dissections. He was given permission by hospitals in Florence and Milan. His drawings were so detailed that they can still be found in anatomy text books.
Its often obvious that ancient Greek or Roman mythology often had multiple meanings. Which is obvious when you notice how weird some of the Greek myths are. Obviously many were not meant to be literal. I wonder if the same goes for this artwork... that it DOES have true meanings or applications relating to nature's design or dimensions... but also some secondary purpose or message which is hiding in plane sight.
And this exactly why I shouldn't had trusted TH-cam comments regarding videos, you all don't know a damn thing about why Da'Vinci constructed this Vitruvian man in the first place. It's not about anatomical proportion, it's something else and I cannot share with you the truth, not unless I deconstruct this BS...See the beginning of the video? It contains clues about animators, then this video starts with a silly story about how this man was created but what it doesn't tell you is for what purpose was this man created...
That would be impossible Da Vinci has a long history of studying mathematics, philosophy, and had a good history of feud against the Catholic dogma. Each and every single one of his work tells of various ideas that have proven controversial and historical for the advancement of mankind. Please stop judging art through image alone and learn the history of its author and the work. Modern art is so looked down upon because no one does research about the history anymore. (Well, unless you count video games and films as art...which it is)

Fascinating facts about the Vitruvian man. Unrelated but also incredibly useful as an element of the sketch - Leonardo marked out his proportions for each section fairly clearly, making it a good template to learn how to proportion the human figure. My first year in art school we actually used the Vitruvian Man as a point of reference for this reason.
Had a wild, intense dream several months ago, where I saw the Vitruvian man image drawn big on my bedroom wall in red, and I felt connected to the whole universe, to everything, for about 7 seconds. I had nothing but unconditional love flowing through me. It was like a feeling of true power. I guess some of the explanations in this video explains the meaning behind my dream. The use of free will to learn about love, to grow and flow in the opposite direction of evil. The choice is ours. Nothing to do with religion (of which I am not any part of). I know that this experience had to have meant something powerful, because the Vitruvian man image is completely random to me and something I don't even think about. It was totally out of left field.
You were actually so close to correct, but you had one little detail wrong. there is a lot and i do mean a lot, of truth, to ...most religions. try to grasp that one next mentally and you might see god. if you are lucky
I once drew a picture which I felt symbolized life, the universe and everything quite nicely. It was of a samwich eating a smaller samwich. ...am I famous now?

Nicely done, James Earle. (In my college days, back in the 1960s, one of my favorite Engineering professors was named James (or "Jim") Earle. He was a great cartoonist, and drew a regular cartoon for the University newspaper.)
Vitruvian man was first described by a hatch ranking officer in Caesars army-Vetruvius. He listed those attributes that would make the perfect man. Including the naval and circle, and the outstretched arms equaling the height of a man. He listed approximately 20 different attributes. Leading up to DaVinci, there were several poor attempts at illustrating the list. DaVinci was the closest accomplishing that feat.
Squaring a circle is perfectly possible. Take a square with side length square root of π, and a circle of radius 1. πx(1squared) is just π. And root π times root π is also π. QED.
But they themselves have said that pi itself is not perfect .That's why any solution containing or have used the value of pi will only be approx not exact.
the same for me after i watched this video about leonardo th-cam.com/video/_RU2l-09pms/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgzWRL3uTu-jNDp79U54AaABAg.98gUQgsWSyN98idL-A_vVw
... having seen the original while museum hopping in Italy decades ago, it was carved into the surface not merely drawn on it... reproductions of it, though impressive, pale in comparison to the original... upon seeing it I realized it was a 3D man in a 3D cube and 3D sphere of equal volumes and the math proves that to be true (rounding the square or squaring the circle are distractions open to less informed speculation): the cube volume (L*W*H) 6*6*6=216 and the sphere volume (radius cubed*pi*4/3) 3.722(cubed)*3.142*(4/3)=216 (all rounded numbers from the thousandths!)
That was excellent and I just came from another Leonardo video (see below link) where they went further with its proportions and chambers of the Great Pyramid and spiritual energy, etc. For myself, about Humans "Being" in the center and able to move up and down the chain; it has great meaning to me. Since my awakening and experiences of "multidimensional'" realms and Selves and such things; this makes great sense to how they thought or what they knew and did themselves; Leonardo, the other guy in the video and the ancients. Spirit-Science is physical and non physical, its sacred math, vibration, sound and light frequencies and overall its the Macro in the Micro and vice versa. For myself, I dont always know the details, math and so on, but I do know from experiences how things are and work to great extents. Like a guy says in another video I will leave for all you who feel it and get inspired, "Wayseers have an unexplainable knack for just knowing the Way. They sense it in their very being. They can't tell you why or how they arrived at the right answer. They just know it in their core. They can't show their work. So don't ask. Their minds simply resonate with the Way. When the Way is present, so are they." Anyway when Humans have their own experiences inner and outer, here and beyond, their will be no more "hidden/coded" anything and new terms will be the norm, like energy centers, multi-d, Star Beings, densities, dimensions-consciousness and so on. Enjoy the two vids below and lots of love to you all. Love Christopher
They left out the most important part. There are lines across the man at the wrist, elbow, knees, crotch, and shoulders. The ratio between these parts is the Phi Ratio (the Golden Ratio): 1.618 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio This ratio can be found throughout nature.

No they didn't define it as man or women they simply showed how you can behave like a god when you give out of your heart and out of love.You are doing gods work as intended and therefore can be godly by doing so
Despite the depressing narration, da Vinci is awesome.

Wrong

Watch the Numberphile Video on Squaring the Circle. It's explained well there.
Vitruvian man was first described by a hatch ranking officer in Caesars army-Vetruvius. He listed those attributes that would make the perfect man. Including the naval and circle, and the outstretched arms equaling the height of a man. He listed approximately 20 different attributes. Leading up to DaVinci, there were several poor attempts at illustrating the list. DaVinci was the closest accomplishing that feat.
The narration is really not that bad. When one person commented that, 500 others followed suit.
i liked your narration

But they themselves have said that pi itself is not perfect .That's why any solution containing or have used the value of pi will only be approx not exact.
the problem is you can't do it with ruler and compass
Formula for man's forearm is: (height in meters : root 3,645) :2 = forearm in meters
Forearm measurement is from elbow to the longest finger
I'll never see the vitruvian man on the 1euro coin in the same way1

This was deeper than I had thought of.
I just saw this image of a man within a square and a circle without knowing its meaning.......now........... mind blown.
... having seen the original while museum hopping in Italy decades ago, it was carved into the surface not merely drawn on it... reproductions of it, though impressive, pale in comparison to the original... upon seeing it I realized it was a 3D man in a 3D cube and 3D sphere of equal volumes and the math proves that to be true (rounding the square or squaring the circle are distractions open to less informed speculation):
the cube volume (L*W*H) 6*6*6=216 and
the sphere volume (radius cubed*pi*4/3) 3.722(cubed)*3.142*(4/3)=216 (all rounded numbers from the thousandths!)
"wrong!" At 0:25 is so funny idk why
Wow this was really enlightening. I knew the drawing comprised mathematical properties (phi), but I didn't know the philosophical background.
That was excellent and I just came from another Leonardo video (see below link) where they went further with its proportions and chambers of the Great Pyramid and spiritual energy, etc. For myself, about Humans "Being" in the center and able to move up and down the chain; it has great meaning to me.

did anyone else cringe when the compass was placed on the naval?!
The compass fits nicely in the navel, you mean?
Nicely made, Sweet and simple I like it.
The drawing is perfect except for the absence of underwear.
Wow, I always wondered what this man is doing in the middle of a circle and between a square.

Thank you
All this explanation, and I bet you all he did was draw a dude in a square and circle because he was just bored..
⬜⭕🤔
Have square with side length equal to sqrt(pi) and a circle with radius 1. Both shapes have an area equal to pi. You can square the circle.
they depicted God as a woman :)
so?
so that makes me happy!!
No they didn't define it as man or women they simply showed how you can behave like a god when you give out of your heart and out of love.You are doing gods work as intended and therefore can be godly by doing so
