EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Gaspard Monge, Count of Peluse, a renowned French mathematician during the campaign (expedition) of Egypt from 1798 to 1801. In this image, taken by Stefano Bianchetti in the 19th century, we see Monge observing the fascinating phenomenon of a mirage. Monge's presence in Egypt was not only for military purposes but also to expand his knowledge and understanding of various scientific phenomena. As an intellectual explorer, he dedicated himself to studying optical effects and their impact on human eyesight. The mirage depicted in this engraving showcases his curiosity about the natural world. The composition beautifully portrays Monge standing amidst the vast African landscape with a sense of awe and wonderment in his eyes. This image is a testament to his dedication as a scholar who sought knowledge beyond borders. As one gazes at this remarkable piece, it becomes evident that Monge's expedition was not solely focused on conquest or colonization but rather on expanding humanity's collective understanding. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and conflict, there are individuals like Monge who strive to uncover new truths through observation and exploration. This print offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting the importance of intellectual pursuits regardless of geographical boundaries or political circumstances.
