Today

There has been very little scholarship discussing the Vitruvian Man in today's world. However, one of the best research methods we discovered is to go to http://images.google.com and search for "Vitruvian." Every time there are more and more interesting images available!

Also, http://www.google.com and a search for "Vitruvian Man" / "Leonardo da Vinci" brings up quite a few excellent links, many of which were most helpful in creating this site!

You can find references to the specific sites we used below our images, as well as in the text of our site.
