artist of the day---vitruvius

Many poeple do not understand that the above drawing by leonardo is a study of the theory of a genius named vitruvius. Much of Leonardo's work and inspiration came direct from vitruvius who was a renaissance genius before the renaissance ever happened. I suggest you google him and learn about him and you can start with the wiki link although I hate wikipedia it is a start...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvius


the more you study him, the more you can learn that leonardo did not arise out of a vacuum but rather had some great sources.

and as DALI said--genius is concealing your sources.


my staten island cover was approved--now I paint two paintings for Nassau county
