I have a copy of this print on my wall. People never really look at his face, do it and you'll see a whole new aspect to the image.

This drawing is also a solution to a classic mathematical problem: squaring the circle. Essentially, the problem states that it is impossible to find a square that has the same area as a circle. Using Vitruvian Man, DaVinci came close to solving that problem. This drawing also shows the presence of Golden Ratio, a ratio which is present abundantly in nature and is considered to make things symmetrical, hence beautiful.

I need to take a closer inspection of this picture in all of its beautifully detailed glory now. Greatest artist to walk this earth! I admire his relationship and connection with art and nature! I believe they were a people, who were very passionate and in tune with the laws of nature. What a time to have lived...

I believe Da Vinci drew this as a model of a perfect, symmetrical man.

Dianna Bella74, That human mind can be very amusing and useful or very corrupt and hurtful. He was a talented person for sure.
