Di Vinci's Vitruvian Man
I've always loved this sketch from Di Vinci, it appeals to me mainly because it's concept it very bizzare... further reading into the sketch describes how Di Vinci uses parts of the human body as units of measurement and that we're perfectly proportional (which is a very rare thing to come across).
The sketch shows how symmetrical the human body is all while explaining this crazy idea of Vitruvius, an architect, used his body parts as the measuring tools in his work.
I simply love Di Vinci, his sketches of anatomy and inventions are by far the most interesting pieces of artwork I've ever come across.
