Italian geometrist Alfonso Rubino, who has made extended studies of Da Vincis Vitruvian Man, determined that the 15th century Isleworth portrait named after the London suburb where it was kept by British art connoisseur Hugh Blaker early in the last century conformed to Da Vincis basic line structures, the Guardian said.
