Product Description
Open the lid and Renaissance science meets ancient symbolism. That meeting is a new composition: Neoclassical Pop Art that grafts the Eye of Providence onto a Renaissance study of proportion. The gold pocket watch places the Eye of Providence behind the ideal man, a small mystery to carry every day.
In “The All-Seeing Vitruvian”, Neoclassical Pop Art joins Leonardo da Vinci's “Vitruvian Man”, now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, with an ancient emblem of watchfulness. The pocket watch carries this new composition, part science, part mystery.
The original Vitruvian Man drawing was created by Leonardo da Vinci around 1490, based on the proportions described by the 1st-century BC Roman architect Vitruvius. It portrays a "Universal Man" and represents the perfect classical approach to beauty, harmony, and symmetry of the human frame. The Neoclassical Pop Art artwork features the Vitruvian Man standing in front of the Eye of Providence pyramid, iconography representing the eye of God watching over humanity.
