Vitruvius, Vitruvian man inspired by Leonardo da Vinci ring in silver

Our "Vitruvian" ring is a tribute to the famous drawing we all know. The Vitruvian Man, or Homo Vitruvianus, was a pen drawing created in the late 15th century by Leonardo da Vinci, based on the ancient architectural treatise De Architectura written by the Roman architect Vitruvius around 15 BC.
This drawing depicts a man in two superimposed positions, with arms and legs outstretched, inscribed within a square and a circle—two geometric shapes considered perfect according to the ideals of the Renaissance. It embodies the ideal proportions of the human body and symbolizes humanism, placing man at the center of the universe, between earth and cosmos.

Our ring takes the form of a signet ring with a circular top engraved with Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing. The choice of a circular shape is no coincidence—it evokes the perfection of the circle in Leonardo’s work, as well as the balance and harmony of human proportions.

This mythical image has become a bridge between many universal disciplines studied by Leonardo: art, anatomy, geometry, mathematics, cosmology, philosophy, metaphysics, Christian mysticism, and the conception of God. It reflects the eternal quest for balance between science and spirituality, matter and spirit, reason and intuition.

The Vitruvian ring in sterling silver is a piece that symbolizes the union of science and art—an invitation to explore the mysteries of humanity and to appreciate the beauty of geometric perfection. It embodies the ideals of the Renaissance, a time when humankind sought to understand and harmonize its existence with the universal principles of nature and the cosmos.
