EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Bartholomaeus Pitiscus, a renowned figure from the 19th century. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable individual, known for his contributions to trigonometry, geometry, astronomy, and theology. Intriguingly portrayed in a distinguished gown and adorned with a traditional wig, Pitiscus exudes an air of intellectual prowess and sophistication. His piercing gaze reflects his deep understanding of the subjects he dedicated his life to studying. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every line meticulously etched to convey both the physical features and inner wisdom that defined Pitiscus. It is evident that this artwork was created with great reverence for its subject matter. Pitiscus' significance as one of the pioneers who coined the term "trigonometry" cannot be overstated. This portrait serves as a testament to his lasting impact on mathematics and science as a whole. As we admire this historical masterpiece captured by Ken Welsh's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance and dedication embodied by Bartholomaeus Pitiscus. This print not only preserves history but also inspires us to continue exploring new frontiers in these fields today.
