Proportional Study of Buli in the Manner of Vitruvius
Inspired by the famous Vitruvian Man from Leonardo da Vinci

Vitruvian Man is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1490. Inspired by the Roman architect Vitruvius, it depicts a nude man in two overlapping standing positions, inscribed within a circle and a square. Art historian Carmen C. Bambach described it as "justly ranked among the all-time iconic images of Western civilization". While not the only drawing inspired by Vitruvius, Leonardo's work uniquely combines artistic vision with scientific inquiry and is often considered an archetypal representation of the High Renaissance.


The Vitruvian Buli is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1490.

Inspired by the writings by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, the drawing depicts a buli in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and inscribed in both a circle and square (or almost, as Buli's anatomy didn't really perfectly fit inside them...)
