Leonardo Da Vinci – Antique

£3.75

Leonardo Da Vinci

This fabric is symbolic of Leonardo Da Vinci printed with some of his most well known sketches.  These include:

Vitruvian Man

Vitruvian Man is Da Vinci’s own reflection on human proportion and architecture. Drawn around 1487, it depicts a man with arms and legs apart simultaneously and is accompanied by notes on the work of Roman architect Vitruvius Pollio. The scientific sketch, drawn with pen and ink on paper, explores proportions and is believed to be an attempt to illustrate Pollio’s theories.

Head of a Woman

The Head of a Woman is an unfinished portrayal of a woman with wild hair, which explains its nickname “La Scapigliata”, which translates as “dishevelled hair”. The softness of the subject’s face contrasts to her unruly barnet — showing the woman to be both beautiful and free. The actual date of completion for this piece still remains unknown.

 

These are just two of the images that are interspersed with script from Leonardo Da Vinci’s time, pictures of foliage a sketch of a horse and more.

 

This fabric would make a fantastic book cover, or even framed as a picture.
