This Mandala (#CX4822) is also known as "Mandala After Leonardo's Study Of Human Proportions."
It is said that Leonard Da Vinci's "Study Of Human Proportions" is the most universally recognized example of significant fine art in recorded history. Even Leonardo's famous "Mona Lisa" is not as well known or popular. For mysterious reasons, Leonardo's small pen and ink drawing has stuck in more minds and is instantly recognized by more people than any other image bar none. It has been reproduced and used in countless ways, especially in the medical field.
In the "Study Of Human Proportion," man is compared to geometry and we find numerous relationships. For instance, the physical center of the man in the square (the base of the spine) is conjunct to the center of the square. On the other hand, the center of the circle and the center of the man in that circle, falls just a little above his navel. Leonardo's special lines, which fall at the base of the spine, slightly below the knees, at the chest, and at the elbows, divides the original square into four smaller squares. The cosmic man is eight heads high and his extended hands and arms are as wide as he is tall. These proportions are straight forward and simple enough and yet potent with mystery.
"Study Of Human Proportion" by Leonardo Da Vinci, is in fact, fabulously rich with ancient metaphysical perfection. Many of the most arcane concepts of Sacred Geometry are held within its secret simplicity. Somehow, the perfection of these truths has been intuitively felt by multiple millions of people and Leonardo's simple master piece continues to seduce us with its archetypal magic.
