Art History toys (ctd.)
January 6 2017
Picture: Sarah Vowles on Twitter
The British Museum's curator of French and Italian drawings, Sarah Vowles, alers me to perhaps the best art history toy I've yet seen; a poseable model of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man. In the photo below, she has artfully posed him beside a classical bust.
On this site, someone has made Vitruvian Man perform some rather athletic poses.
