Who drew the Vitruvian Man?

• A. Giotto
• B. Botticelli
• C. Da Vinci
• D. Titian

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is attribution of a famous drawing to its creator. The Vitruvian Man is a work by Leonardo da Vinci, created around 1490, which merges anatomy and geometry to illustrate ideal human Proportions based on Vitruvius’s principles. Leonardo’s notebooks show his habit of linking art with scientific observation, using a circle and square to express how the body's proportions fit within these shapes. The other artists listed were important painters of different periods and styles, but they did not create this drawing. Giotto comes from an earlier phase of Italian art, Botticelli is known for mythic scenes with a delicate line, and Titian represents the later Venetian Renaissance. So Leonardo da Vinci is the correct attribution.
