Product Description
Warm gold, cool geometry. The Neoclassical Pop Art take gives the figure a gold ground he never had on paper, and that change makes the dial a new artwork. The ideal man spreads his arms across the dial of this pocket watch, a reminder that good design still has bones.
“Vitruvian Man” in gold is a Neoclassical Pop Art reading of “The Vitruvian Man”, the ink-on-paper drawing that Leonardo da Vinci made c. 1490 after Vitruvio, now at the Gabinetto dei disegni e delle stampe of the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. The warm ground makes a scholarly diagram feel like jewellery.
The original Vitruvian Man drawing was created by Leonardo da Vinci around 1490, based on the proportions described by Vitruvius, the 1st-century BC Roman architect whose De architectura is the oldest surviving book on architecture. Known as "Le proporzioni del corpo umano secondo Vitruvio," or the "proportions of the human body according to Vitruvius", it demonstrates how the blending of mathematics and art provoked the Classical Renaissance symmetry and harmony.
Time to evolve. Centered in a kinetic art spiral, the Neoclassical Pop Art account of the Vitruvian Man suggests a Time Traveler connecting the the prestige of the Old Masters ethical principles with the modern scientific digital era qualities.
