Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man on Arctic Sea Ice
Artist John Quigley, with the help of the crew of the Greenpeace icebreaker Arctic Sunrise, recreates Leonardo da Vinci's sketch Vitruvian Man, from copper on the Arctic sea ice. John Quigley QUOTE: "We came here and created the 'Melting Vitruvian Man', da Vinci's famous sketch of the human body, because literally climate change is eating into the body of our civilisation. When he did this sketch it was the Enlightenment, the Renaissance, the dawn of this innovative age that continues to this day, but our use of fossil fuels is threatening that."
