Vitruvian Man Table

The famous picture Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci shows the proportions of the human body inscribed in a circle and square. This monster with four hands and four legs calling sacred awe before genius of the Great Masters. Vitruvius make human proportions as a fundamental basis in architecture. And Leonardo da Vinci depicted this principle in ink on paper.
I distributed the one person with eight limbs to sixteen ordinary people with two arms and two legs. Each with its own character and with their mood.
I think about a seditious thought recently. Why is it all portrayed in this form with eight limbs. Check with drawings in various search engines and could not find even an obvious candidate positions of man, which entered into a square or circle. Stop of thoughts when trying to process the picture is clear. Too great authority that it can be interpreted. The maximum that could have done - to wear man. Pants, shorts, jacket, etc.
Some researchers argue that the painting by William Blake “Glad Day” is one of the first references to Vitruvian Man in the art. Characteristically, the man pictured outside simmetrical rules. Above, I picked this picture of the position corresponding to the picture of Leonardo. If you find a product of the eye in which there are allusions to Vitruvian Man - write in comments.
Next, I give the rest a combination of items Vitruvian Man. There are sixteen (16). Each limb has two positions: one for the circle and another for the square. In order not to mess together, I had a system of marking the positions of each limb counter-clockwise, starting from the head. That is, the right hand up (in circle) - Position 1, at the bottom (in square) - Position 2. And so on.
So a set of four figures. Named all the files the numbers of combinations of positions. In my opinion - is convenient.
