Verschiedene Grade der Abtragung des kosmischen Systems auf den Menschen. Harmonikale Entsprechung. Später Reduktion der Harmonie Auf die abstrakte Geometrie statt auf die kosmisch bedingte (Lionardo)

Different degrees of projection of the cosmic system on Man: harmony. Subsequently: the reduction of harmony in favour of abstract geometry rather than cosmically determined harmony (Leonardo da Vinci)

Plate captions

Human need for representation and connection with the cosmos is expressed in the projection of images and influences of the cosmos on Man: a harmonic connection between cosmos and man is established. During the Renaissance this harmony is represented logically and geometrically (Leonardo da Vinci), as well as magically and demoniacally.
