‘Human Proportion’, by Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci [15 April 1452 – 2 May 1519]
Text adapted from Leonardo da Vinci: A life in drawing, London, 2018

A nude man standing, facing the spectator, with arms outstretched. Another is kneeling beside him, to his right, so that his head just fits under the standing man’s arm; to the left of the main figure is a third man, seated, measured for proportion; with notes on human proportion on the left side of the sheet.

A four line note on human proportion c.1490

The system of human proportions in the central drawing on this sheet follows that set out in the treatise On Architecture by the Roman architect Vitruvius (first century bc). Accordingly, the height of the man is equal to the span of his outstretched arms; a quarter of his height is the cubit, marked off horizontally at the knees, pubis and between the armpits, and vertically at the elbows and down the centre of the chest. The same proportions are seen in Leonardo’s most famous drawing, the ‘Vitruvian man’ standing with arms outstretched in a square and circle (Venice, Accademia). The notes explain the two subsidiary diagrams: ‘if a man kneels he will diminish by a quarter part of his height’, and ‘the umbilicus is [then] the middle of his height’; and ‘the middle of a man who sits […] is below the breast and below the shoulder’. Via.

LEONARDO DA VINCI: A LIFE IN DRAWING

Para assinalar o 500º aniversário da morte de Leonardo da Vinci [15 Abr 1452 – 2 Mai 1519], a exposição “Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing” reúne mais de 200 desenhos do mestre renascentista, constituindo a maior exposição da obra de Leonardo em mais de meio século.

Adquiridos durante o reinado de Carlos II de Inglaterra, os desenhos de Leonardo – que estarão em The Queen’s Gallery entre 24 Mai e 13 Out 2019 – transmitem uma percepção do modo como funcionava a mente do génio, reflexo dos seus múltiplos interesses na pintura, escultura, arquitectura, anatomia, engenharia, cartografia, geologia e botânica.
