The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding - Leonardo da Vinci
I do not understand... that it mean that i am not experiencing pleasure?
He was a genius, totally eccentric, but a genius non-the less... the following 2 works are his best... the Vitruvian Man, and the Mona Lisa... each demonstrating different essences within himself... and varying concepts of perpetualization. What is perpetualization?? It is the perpetual realization of being, of life around you.
Vitruvius was a Roman architect, who studied the proportions of the human body, and the Vitruvian man was but a study of this. In the included picture, da Vinci writes his notes about his analysis on the human form in mirror writing. Symbolic? Absolutely... just like the mathematical irrational golden proportional number phi, known by Renaissance artists as the 'Divine Proportion'. Another Leonardo (Another coincidence?), Leonardo Fibonacci determined that the ratio of two successive numbers in the Fibonacci series (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...) approximates this phi. It also converges on phi for greater iterations in the series... phi is approximately 1.618033988749895.
So basically, we have 2 Leonardos analysing this golden number... what is the significance of this? let's see.. phi is a number that crops up in many places in art, music, etc... Claude Debussy used it explicitly in his music, and Le Corbusier in his architecture. Also, it is possible the the Greek Parthenon, the Great Pyramid of Khufu and EVEN the Mona Lisa were influenced by this divine proportion. Pictures or even rectangles were proved to be more pleasing if they utilise this golden ratio, demonstrated by psychological tests performed by Gustav Fechner in the 19th century.
FACT or FICTION??
i leave it up to you to decide... why is Mona Lisa considered one of the best paintings ever? the use of golden ratios perhaps... This ratio is embodied within nature, seen as beauty and organisation within existance... the basic proof of a higher existance... we were made... this is but the evidenciary proof.
