DNA. Computer artwork of a deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA. Computer artwork of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule (right) and a historical drawing of a male figure by Leonardo da Vinci (1453-1519). DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of a sugar- phosphate backbone (larger beads) attached to nucleotide bases (smaller beads). There are four different bases: guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. DNA contains sections called genes, which encode the bodys genetic information

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print beautifully juxtaposes two iconic representations of human knowledge and creativity. On the left, we are presented with a stunning computer artwork depicting the intricate structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the fundamental building block of life. The DNA molecule is elegantly portrayed as a double helix, composed of two twisted strands. Each strand comprises a sugar-phosphate backbone adorned with nucleotide bases, represented by smaller beads. These four bases - guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine - hold the key to our genetic information. On the right side of this composition lies an intriguing historical drawing by none other than Leonardo da Vinci himself. This remarkable figure sketched by da Vinci in the 15th century showcases his unparalleled talent for capturing human anatomy and form. A male model stands before us in all his naked glory, embodying both vulnerability and strength. The fusion between these two distinct yet interconnected subjects invites contemplation on humanity's quest for understanding ourselves and our place in the world. It symbolizes how science and art intertwine to unravel nature's mysteries while celebrating our shared heritage as living beings. This mesmerizing image from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge across different realms: from deciphering genetic codes to appreciating timeless artistic masterpieces like those crafted by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
