		There is a man with outstretched arms and legs, in fact two pairs of each, which touch both the circumference of the circle and the vertices of the square.
		Upon viewing the drawing the conclusion can be made that the length of a man's arm span is equal to the height of the man. In other words the ratio of the Vitruvian Man's arm span to his height equals 1.

	Praising The Vitruvian Man
		Although Brown did an incredible job of explaining the intricate proportions of the Vitruvian Man, it was not until I began to explore the data on my own that I saw the matchless beauty of the work.
		When a man spreads his arms and legs out he fits perfectly into a circle with his fingertips and the bottoms of his feet touching the inner rim.
		With out the initial creation of man there would be no Divine Proportion and therefore no Vitruvian Man. This artwork conveys a very clear message to me: there is a perfect God that made me in His image to the exact specifications of divinity.

		For if a man lies on his back with hands and feet outspread, and the centre of a circle is placed on his navel, his figure and toes will be touched by the circumference.
		In tracing the whole of his work, his artistic vision lay inherent in the definition of the purpose of his art–that is to paint ‘man and the intention of his soul’ in terms of ‘attitudes and movements of the limbs’.
		To this end, the rendering of da Vinci’s ‘Vitruvian Man’ is different from other interpretations in that the circle and square image are overlaid on one another to form one image.
