Galileo observing the swaying of the chandelier in Pisa Cathedral, c1584. Galileo Galilei
Galileo observing the swaying of the chandelier in Pisa Cathedral, c1584. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian astronomer, mathematician and physicist used this observation in his work which led to his discovery of the isochronism of the pendulum and eventually, through Huyghens, to development of the pendulum clock.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Galileo Galilei, one of history's greatest scientists. In this image, taken around 1584, we see Galileo observing the swaying of a chandelier inside Pisa Cathedral. Little did he know that this simple observation would lead to groundbreaking discoveries and revolutionize our understanding of time measurement. Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist who utilized his keen powers of observation to unravel the mysteries of the universe. His fascination with the pendulum's movement while gazing at this chandelier eventually led him to discover the isochronism of the pendulum - its ability to swing back and forth at a constant rate regardless of its amplitude. This discovery laid the foundation for further advancements in timekeeping technology. Through subsequent research by Christiaan Huygens and others inspired by Galileo's work, it ultimately led to the development of accurate pendulum clocks. The significance of this photograph lies not only in capturing a pivotal moment in scientific history but also in showcasing Galileo's relentless pursuit for knowledge. His dedication and meticulous observations paved the way for future generations to explore new frontiers in science. Preserved from Vies des Savants Illustres by Louis Figuier (Paris, 1870), this image serves as a testament to Galileo's enduring legacy as an influential scientist whose contributions continue to shape our understanding of timekeeping today.
