The Discovery of the Law of Gravitation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous print that takes us back to the early 20th century. Created by Louis Glackens in 1910, this color lithograph captures a whimsical scene featuring the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, alongside Sir Isaac Newton. In this satirical artwork, we see an amusing twist on Newton's famous apple falling from a tree. Instead of observing gravity's effect on fruit, the Wright brothers find themselves crash-landing their biplane into an apple tree! The chaotic scene is filled with witty commentary and clever parody. Glackens' artistic style combines elements of botany, natural history, and science with a touch of Edwardian humor. The print not only showcases his talent for satire but also pays homage to these pioneering aviators who revolutionized flight. The image invites us to reflect on the incredible progress made in aviation while playfully reminding us that even great minds like Newton can have unexpected encounters with gravity. It serves as a lighthearted reminder that innovation often comes with its fair share of mishaps. This delightful piece from Glackens' collection adds charm and laughter to any space it graces. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or simply appreciate art that brings joy, "The Discovery of the Law of Gravitation" will surely bring smiles and spark conversations about scientific breakthroughs mixed with good-natured fun.
