One of Leonardo Da Vinci’s most well known pieces of work is his depictions of the Vitruvian Man. Originally theorized by Vitruvius, Leonardo depicts the mathematical formula Vitruvius discovered for the proportions of the human body. The figure is idealized and a depiction of humanistic ideology. Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man applies the perfection of divinity onto a human effectively shifting the limit of perfection away from anagogic space. He places his Vitruvian man in both anagogic and earthly space by placing the figure in both a square (earth) and a circle (anagogic space). By Da Vinci doing this he again places a human figure into anagogic space eliminating the bridge between anagogic and earthly space.
