Homage to Leonardo, Bronze statue in Belgrave Square, London, United Kingdom.
The Homage to Leonardo statue represents the Vitruvian Man drawing through a bronze figure with extended limbs positioned in a circular formation.
Italian sculptor Enzo Plazzotta designed the statue in 1981, and his assistant Mark Holloway completed the work after Plazzotta's death in 1982.
The statue combines artistic expression with mathematical precision, reflecting Leonardo da Vinci's integration of science and art in his original Vitruvian Man.
Visitors can reach the statue by taking the London Underground to Hyde Park Corner station and walking east through the garden squares of Belgravia.
The bronze figure extends its limbs in multiple positions simultaneously, creating a three-dimensional interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's two-dimensional drawing.
