EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Clavius, a prominent mathematician and astronomer from the 16th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, showcases Christopher Clavius wearing a cloak and hat that reflect his status as a Jesuit scholar. Clavius is best known for his significant contributions to the modification of the Gregorian calendar. His expertise in mathematics played a crucial role in refining this widely used system, which remains in use today. This portrait, featured in "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, offers us a glimpse into Clavius' intellectual prowess and dedication to his craft. The photograph's composition highlights Clavius' commanding presence as he gazes directly at the viewer.
