EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). Sketch of the head proportions. From Vitruvius 'The Ten Books on Architecture,'" is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the mind of the legendary Renaissance polymath, Leonardo da Vinci. The drawing, which can be found in the prestigious Gallerie delle Accademia in Venice, Italy, is a meticulous study of human head proportions, inspired by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius' seminal work, "De Architectura," or "The Ten Books on Architecture." Da Vinci's annotated copy of Vitruvius' text, which is now housed in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, is renowned for its extensive annotations and annotated diagrams, many of which delve into the realms of anatomy and physiology. This particular sketch, with its precise measurements and careful attention to detail, is a testament to da Vinci's enduring fascination with the human form and his commitment to understanding the underlying principles of proportion and symmetry. The drawing is not only a valuable addition to the annals of art history but also a testament to the interconnectedness of art and science during the Renaissance. As Vitruvius' text emphasized the importance of symmetry and proportion in both architecture and the human body, da Vinci's sketch serves as a bridge between these two disciplines, illustrating the harmonious relationship between the two. The Gallerie delle Accademia, which was founded in 1750 and is one of the oldest public art galleries in the world, is home to an extensive collection of Venetian art from the 14th to the 18th centuries. This drawing by Leonardo da Vinci is just one of the many treasures that can be found within its hallowed halls, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich artistic and intellectual heritage of Venice and the Renaissance.
