	The image [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_Man '''Vitruvian Man'''] drawn by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci '''Leonardo da Vinci'''] around 1490 is perhaps his most famous illustration. The image reflects Leonardo's keen interest in proportion and his attempts to relate man to nature. The illustration is a pen ink drawing of a male figure whose outstretched limbs touch the circumference of a circle and the edges of a square. His navel falls in the exact center of the circle.

	The ideas on proportion were not Leonardo's alone, but were developed from the writings of the Roman architect [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvius '''Vitruvius''']. Both men believed that the same principles should be used when designing buildings but Leonardo took the idea further and spent much of his life searching for connections between the structure of the human body and other patterns in nature. In his notes, he proclaimed that '''''Man is the model of the world'''''.
