[IBC] Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528)+ The Da Vinci Code
Lynn: The Da Vinci Code was a fun book. And tomorrow night (Monday, 3 November) at
7:00 p.m. CST will be an ABC TV movie based upon this book I'm looking forward to it. Alan Walker, Lake Charles, LA, USA http://LCBSBonsai.org http://bonsai-bci.com ================================ David J. Bockman wrote: For those one or two of you unfamiliar with Herr Dürer, he was a man of remarkable genius; I recall being stunned, really stunned, at his engravings and pen & ink work: http://www-groups.dcs.st-andrews.ac....ans/Durer.html ------------------ Lynn Boyd wrote: Dave, If he still fascinates you because of that perfection with mathematical proportions, the PHI, l.618 ratio, also, Fibonacci sequence, the pentacle and Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, there is a top selling mystery book now, _The Da Vinci Code_ that makes a great story wrapped around the use of these as a way to solve a murder through a secret correspondence. I just got into it and wrapping that all into a murder mystery with the ancient church secret brotherhoods is darned good reading. It makes the time of DaVinci and many of these "divine" proportion and religious events fit together in a way they don't when studied in art history. I am only about page 75 and already really enthralled. There are websites - I haven't seen yet: www.thedavincicode.com and www.danbrown.com. The reason I guessed the Dürer work Nina mentions might be of a lily is that the Fleur de lis at that time was The Mona Lisa . I think the Lily was so often used somehow in that representation - but I only guess now. I promise you will love the way this wraps up in an art murder mystery.
