even more da Vinci nonsense
With Leonardo da Vinci as the key person in the story of the Golden Section throughout history of art, it isn't a surprise that one searches gloden rectangles on other works of him.
It's on you to judge the credilbility of the lines draw in the works.
Mona Lisa
Of course the Mona Lisa musn't fail in the golden section lists.
In the picture below a golden rectangle is draws so that it's tangent to the upper and lower side of the head. OK, but this is it. Not one vertical lins runs through any important point.
Not one word about the type of portrait. While the Vitruvianse man pictures a naked man in front, the Mona Lisa, a woman wearing loose clothes is pictured in three-quarter profile, the arms folded. Pictured this way the head becomes wider, the trunk of the bodi smaller. And likewise the frontal picture of the naked man, this way of drawing a woman would illustrate the golden proportions in a human body???
Annuntiation
The annuntiation is one of Leonardo's early works. He painted it in 1427, so 25 jaar before Pacioli wrote his Divina Proportio.
Also in this painting it's a mystery why it would illustrate the use of the Golden section in art. You can find the picture on the website 'The Golden Ratio Revealed in 7 Masterpieces', but in all of those 7 masterpieces you can ask yourself whether they not rather reveal that in them the Golden Section isn't complete irrelevant.
