Lecture: Art, geometry and human measurements

Thursday, October 3 at 18 p.m
Art, geometry and human measurements

"The Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci from the 1490s is the world's most famous drawing. It shows the proportions of the male body inscribed in a circle and square. But are the body proportions correct? Does the body fit into the geometry as Leonardo drew and wrote? What does the image symbolize? Does the drawing have to do with the golden ratio and the square of the circle? Meet Ann Ponten, doctor, artist and board member of the association Lunds konsthalls vänner, who wrote a thesis on the drawing.

An arrangement by Lunds Konsthall's friends in collaboration with Lunds Konsthall.
