You wanna add some flair about high intelligence and history to the setting? You wanna convey that a character is advanced (technologically or otherwise) to the audience? Bring in The Vitruvian Man! The Vitruvian Man itself is a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci, part of a larger work about ideal human body proportions and how they relate to fractions, and it's named after the Roman architect. It's technically two figures over each other, the one in front merely having his hands extended while legs are close together, and the one in the back is is in a jumping jack pose. This trope come in two kinds: The sketch itself appears. A character is depicted in the same pose(s). Bonus points if the character has extra pairs of limbs to really mimic the sketch's two poses, one superposed over the other. Overall, the Vitruvian pose's resemblance to a crucifixion pose does help its popularity a lot. One could even say it's practically a science fiction equivalent of crucifixion, though not limited to that genre. Note that this can include more comedic uses, especially if the subject is not exactly a genius. |

Walt Disney Presents: In "The Story of the Animated Drawing", Walt uses a drawing of the Vitruvian man (though with a leaf covering his crotch) as an example of early art that unintentionally laid the groundwork for the art of animation. Through a highlighting of his limbs and Limited Animation, the man does a little dance. | |

Brass Eye: In the opening sequence for this series, Chris Morris (the character, not the creator) can be seen going into the Vitruvian pose at the end, which probably helps to emphasise the surrealness and faux-intellectual nature of the show. | |

In The Last Hero, the illustration of Rincewind strapped into a bizarre centrifuge device as space-flight training (and very clearly about to puke) is posed as a clear pastiche of the Vitruvian Man. Designed by Leonard of Quirm, of course, whose notes add that this would also be an interesting study of human musculature, if Rincewind had any. | |

Designed by Leonard of Quirm, of course, whose notes add that this would also be an interesting study of human musculature, if Rincewind had any. Leonard's entry in The Discworld Companion is illustrated with a Vitruvian Man set against the world turtle rather than a circle. |
