Which Florentine artist created a diagram of human proportions entitled Vitruvian Man?
Answer
The Vitruvian Man is a famous annotated drawing, made around 1490 in pen, ink and wash on paper, by the Florentine painter Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), based on a study of the important ancient treatise De architectura (about architecture) written in -15 by the Roman architect-engineer Vitruvius (v-90-v-15), and dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus.
