"… the arms and the legs of the figure are drawn into different positions in order to visualize Vitruvius' statement that the human body is capable of being inscribed both in a circle and a square. But Vitruvius – and Leonardo – lay stress on the fact merely because it tends to show the harmony between the structure of the human body and the 'most perfect' geometrical shape, which implies also a correspondence of the human body with the universe."
E. Panofsky, London 1940
