Description
Leonardo da Vinci - De Divina Proportione - Ambrosiana Codex

With their treatise on the golden ratio and its application to various arts, the mathematician Luca Pacioli and the painter Leonardo da Vinci created a fascinating meeting of mathematics and art. Thanks to its clearly understandable texts and gorgeous and interesting illustrations, the work still speaks to readers outside mathematical circles. The Ambrosiana manuscript dates from 1498. Particularly worthy of note are its geometric illustrations, which make complex spatial forms vividly tangible.

Leonardo da Vinci - De Divina Proportione - Ambrosiana Codex

De Divina Proportione brings the world of mathematics into a fascinating dialogue with art. In the Ambrosiana manuscript of 1498, the work of the mathematician and Franciscan friar Luca Pacioli meets the geometric imagination associated with Leonardo da Vinci. The illustrations give spatial forms an extraordinary clarity.

The Union of Mathematics and Art

The Ambrosiana manuscript of 1498 concerns mathematical proportions and their relationship with geometry and art. Its exploration of the golden ratio invites the reader to discover the elegant structures behind visible forms, while the geometric illustrations turn mathematical ideas into a captivating visual experience.

Astounding Geometric Illustrations

**The geometric illustrations are among the manuscript’s most captivating features. The forms associated with Leonardo da Vinci give mathematical relationships a vivid presence on the page, revealing the beauty of spatial structures with remarkable clarity.

Leonardo da Vinci - De Divina Proportione - Ambrosiana Codex

Skeletal Polyhedron

This polyhedron is virtually perfect and may even originate from the hand of Leonardo da Vinci, a friend and collaborator of Luca Pacioli, the work’s author. In fact, the two Renaissance geniuses lived together in Milan for a time until 1499, when they were forced to flee due to the invasion of King Louis XII of France. Their work from the 1480’s endured after they parted ways in 1506 and became a standard mathematical text as well as one of the most important treatises of the Renaissance.

Leonardo da Vinci - De Divina Proportione - Ambrosiana Codex

Presentation Miniature

Dressed in the simple brown robes of a Franciscan friar, the author of this important mathematical treatise, Luca Pacioli, is depicted here presenting the work to the man who patronized his labor, Ludovico Sforza. One of the greatest art patrons of Renaissance Italy, Ludovico’s coat of arms as Duke of Milan are presented at the bottom of the page.

The attention to detail is incredible for an image this size, especially with regard to the gestures and postures of the figures and their garments’ fall of folds. Presented within an elegant golden frame as though it were a small panel painting, this miniature is only a centerpiece of a perfectly composed page, including a brilliant crimson field of golden text at the top of the page.
