Vitruvian Man - by Tomitheos© - a photo on Flickriver

- Acrylic on Canvas Board

"The body is a flow of energies and the greatest harmony in the anatomically correct human form is the symmetrical relations of the extremities to the general magnitude of the body as a whole." -Tomitheos

The Body is a Temple
'In the members of a temple there ought to be the greatest harmony in the symmetrical relations of the different parts to the general magnitude of the whole. Then again, in the human body the central point is naturally the navel. For if a man can be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom. And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it. For if we measure the distance from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and then apply that measure to the outstretched arms, the breadth is found to be
the same as the height, as in the case of plane surfaces which are completely square.'
Marcus Vitruvius, De Architectura, Book III, Chapter 1, page 3
