The picture above, from Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, is a justly famous study of human proportion. However, in Renaissance terms it expresses much of what Pico is arguing about the capability of humanity to encompass the whole of creation. In Renaissance mathematics and in Neoplatonism, the square in geometry represents the terrestrial world and the circle represents the celestial world, while the triangle represents the divine world. The circle and square in da Vinci's drawing represents more than the mathematics of drawing a human figure, they represent how the human being encompasses in its reach the whole of the terrestrial and celestial worlds. - Richard Hooker
