"L'Uomo Vitruviano" (The Vitruvian Man) is a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci that depicts a nude male figure in two superimposed positions, with his arms and legs extended in a circle and a square. The drawing is based on the writings of the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, who believed that the human body was the perfect model for architectural design.

The drawing is a study of human proportions, and it is intended to demonstrate the symmetry and harmony of the human form. The circle represents the ideal proportions of the human body, while the square represents the ideal proportions of the surrounding architectural space.

The Vitruvian Man has become one of the most famous and iconic images of the Italian Renaissance, and it is widely regarded as a masterpiece of art and science. It has been reproduced countless times in art, design, and popular culture, and it continues to inspire and fascinate people today, more than 500 years after it was created.

The drawing is currently housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, and it is considered one of the most valuable and important works of art in the world.
