Vitruvius, was a 1st Century architect that thought that a man fitting in an “earthly” square, and a man, also fitting into a “heavenly” circle, was the epitome of perfect proportions. Leonardo de Vinci successfully visualized his thoughts. Obviously, I’ve tied de Vinci’s Vitruvian Man into Jesus tomb setting, with the addition of a cross motif.
Jesus is depicted here, clothed, with outstretched arms in the heavenly circle. No doubt, that’s how He appeared to his disciples after His resurrection (Crossover). And, superimposed over the clothed figure lies an outlined, naked man, Jesus, who was perfect in all ways, before He agreed to let Himself be sacrificed for the sins of mankind.
