This is Leonardo’s famous drawings
of the Vitruvian proportions of a man’s
body first standing
inscribed in a square and then with feet and arms outspread
inscribed in
a circle provides an excellent early example of the way in which
his
studies of proportion fuse artistic and scientific objectives.
In my opinion, it is a drawing that showing perfect interest
in proportion. And in this picture represents a
cornerstone of Leonardo's attempts to relate man to nature. Leonardo is using square and circle to draw the whole body proportion and clear to draw it. He is using square to accurate the human arms positions, and using circle to make sure the legs proportion.
More of an attempt to relate the human body to geometry , not to nature.
