TY - Type of reference TI - A horse designed by Leonardo da Vinci and the golden ratio AU - Jean-Charles Pomerol AB - A recently discovered drawing of a horse by Leonardo da Vinci gives us the opportunity to highlight the ubiquitous use of the golden ratio by the master, confirming the Greek inspiration of who was nicknamed the “new Phidias”. The horse drawn by Leonardo can be seen as an “ideal horse”, with perfect measurements for the body as well as the head, according to the “divine proportion”, i.e. the golden ratio. This also allows us to point out a very good approximation and simple geometric construction of the golden ratio.
