Secrets of Leonardo da Vinci’s Sacred Geometry

Leonardo used ‘Sacred Geometry’ as an underlying organizational principle in art, engineering, and architecture. The secretive tradition of sacred geometry centers on number, harmony, geometry, and cosmology. It spans back through the mists of time to Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian, Greek, and Roman civilizations. It is evident in the stone circles of Stonehenge, and Greek and Roman Temples through the ancient world. Leonardo, used geometry in the design process. But unlike modern geometry, there was no clear distinction between pure geometry, harmonics, and astrology. These concepts at the time were interrelated and were called the ‘Music of the Spheres’ as artists and architects tried to incorporate harmonic proportions of the cosmos into works of art and architecture. To understand Leonardo, we must understand sacred geometry, and how he used it in his work. In this video we will give a glimpse and insight into Leonardo’s secrets of sacred geometry.
