Vitruvian Man- Leonardo da Vinci, 1487.
This early depiction of the proportions of man is an example of the knowledge acquired during da Vinci’s time, which later led to the power to construct art sculptures that were perfectly proportioned (Wikipedia).
Leonardo da Vinci had an extensive knowledge of the human body. This knowledge of the ideal human proportions allowed sculptors to create balanced, lifelike sculptures. This drawing shows the balance and proportionality of man, which is also a component of power.
