Henry Moore Meets Leonardo
Duration: 08:26
Did You Know?
Leonardo da Vinci believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe. He wrote 'Man has been called by the ancients a lesser world, and indeed the name is well applied; because, as man is composed of earth, water, air, and fire, this body of the earth is similar.' He compared the human skeleton to rocks ('supports of the earth') and the expansion of the lungs while breathing to the ebb and flow of the oceans.
