Vitruvian Man
Leonardo's famous drawing of a man inscribed in a circle and square is the most recognized image in the history of science and art combined. Based on the writings of the Roman architect Vitruvius, it represents Leonardo's attempt to relate human proportions to geometry. The warm sepia ink on aged paper creates one of the most intimate palettes in all of his work.
Color Mood
Timelessly warm and intimate. Sepia ink on aged parchment — the simplest possible palette, and the most human. Two colors that between them contain the entire Renaissance ideal of harmony between art and science.
