The Vitruvian Couple
Heyho der alienart crew, art lovers, generative #AIArt fans, #artists, #travelers, #readers and all who stopped by, hope you are having a great day so far.
Today I present you my newest cellphone #Drawing. A variation of a masterpiece of #LeonardoDaVinci - the so called "Vitruvian Man"
behind the scenes
The drawing is created first on an Huawei P30 smartphone.
I used the drawing app: ibisPaint X, a simple app to draw.
It took me ~ around 3 hours. I did it with my hand, fingers.
But know enough words lets check the progress...
step by step
First I started with the #geometry and created the circle and the square.
Finished Creation
about the original Artwork of Da Vinci
The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci
In 1490 Leonardo drew his world famous "Vitruvian Man". In it he combined the #anatomy of the #human #body with geometry, the theory of #proportions and also #philosophy. This #drawing shows a #man with outstretched arms and legs in two superimposed #positions or variations.
With the hands and the feet this character touches the circumscribing square and a circle. Leonardo was inspired by the idea of the Roman #architect and #engineer #Vitruvius from the first century B.C. to represent the human body in the ideal proportions of the time, which is drawn in, in the perfect geometric forms of the square and the circle.
Before Da Vinci, several other artists had tried this, but only Leonardo succeeded in superimposing the circle and the square in such a way that a harmoniously proportioned figure was created.
The difference from other representations was that the square has a different center than the circle. More precisely, the circle starts in the navel of the human being, the square has its center in the genital area of the figure. Thus #daVinci marked the two centers, which stand for the beginning of life.
It is said that Leonardo was obsessed with human #anatomy. He even dissected corpses against the ecclesiastical prohibition, in order to investigate the #skeleton, tendons, #muscles and organs with their functions and proportions more exactly.
Leonardo's Vitruvian study of #human proportions exemplifies the new world view of the time. In it, the human being is placed in the center in his #physical constitution, with all his #emotions and #humanity.
about my Variation of it
I have not used a compass or stuff like this. As you can see in my Variation, it is also not only the naked man that I have drawn. It is possibly a lewd #picture, but represents the #duality and also the #life in itself, because how can a single man #create life without a #woman? After all, we #women are the ones who carry out life and are therefore an important factor, which should flow into such an #image. Of course, coitus is also the focus when it comes to #creating new #lives. At least as long as we are not yet created from test tubes. Therefore, I have created a #controversial variant of Leonardo da vinci's famous masterpiece. I also found this #dualism more #harmonious in terms of the two #geometric #shapes. The angular square reflects the #masculine hardness, and the circle the #feminine form. Like the #yin-yang, you might say.
