Product Description
A man inside a circle and a square: the most famous drawing about proportion, in a golden pocket case. The dial is new art, a Neoclassical Pop Art tribute that re-inks the Renaissance figure in warm gold so the study reads as a contemporary emblem. Snap the lid open and the figure stretches to fit the geometry exactly, the way Leonardo measured him.
Neoclassical Pop Art calls this dial artwork “Vitruvian Man”. It reworks Leonardo da Vinci's ink-on-paper drawing “The Vitruvian Man”, created c. 1490 after Vitruvio and held at the Gabinetto dei disegni e delle stampe of the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, turning a Renaissance study of proportion into a gold Pop emblem for everyday carry.
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.
