GREEK SCULPTURE

students of the Istituto Magistrale
“A.Veronese” of Montebelluna
research where we can find the Golden Ratio in art.
These are the study results:

In some Greek sculptures the navel (belly button) represents the mean of the golden ratio:
The nevel is positioned such that the ratio of the short half to the long half is equal to the ratio of the long half to the whole.
From feet to navel= 1
From feet to head= 1,618
