Titre : From a simple drawing of Leonardo da Vinci to "first forms" Auteurs : Jean-Pierre Crettez, Revue : Art and Science Numéro : Issue 4 Volume : 4 Date : 2020/09/16 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2020.0557 ISSN : 2515-8767 Résumé : The geometric analysis of a drawing representing the profile of a man’s head gives us a glimpse of how Leonardo established his constructive approach to profiles from a first form. The geometric analysis of three other Leonardo profiles confirms this approach. It is with this same approach that Leonardo produced his five female portraits. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
