EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from an ancient manuscript, representing the allegories of Arithmetic and Geometry. Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this piece is held at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, Italy. The image features Pythagoras and Euclid prominently placed below a Latin poem paying homage to King Robert I of Naples. The intricate details of this illumination manuscript are truly remarkable. The use of vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes brings life to the allegorical figures and their surroundings. A compass can be seen as one of the tools used by these revered mathematicians, symbolizing precision and accuracy in their work. This artwork takes us back to antiquity, reminding us of the rich history that lies within its pages. It reflects upon ancient Greece and its contributions to mathematics, with references to Pythagoras' theorem - a fundamental concept still taught today. Through this photo print, we are transported into a world where science meets artistry. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our constant pursuit of knowledge throughout time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every detail in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical significance. This piece is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding numbers, shapes, and patterns – thanks to brilliant minds like Pythagoras and Euclid.
