Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Pierre Curie, French physicist
Pierre Curie (1859-1906), Nobel Prize-winning French physicist. Curie studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he subsequently became an assistant teacher. With his brother he discovered the piezoelectric effect in crystals. In 1895 he married Polish-French physicist Marie Sklodowska and together they embarked on joint research into the newly discovered phenomenon of radioactivity. Although sometimes dangerous, their work was highly successful: they discovered two new elements (polonium and radium) and won the 1903 Nobel Prize for physics. Pierre Curie died in a road accident

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliance and legacy of Pierre Curie, a renowned French physicist. Born in 1859, Curie's contributions to science are immeasurable. Educated at the prestigious Sorbonne in Paris, he later became an assistant teacher there. Alongside his brother, he made a groundbreaking discovery - the piezoelectric effect in crystals. In 1895, Curie tied the knot with Marie Sklodowska, a Polish-French physicist who shared his passion for scientific exploration. Together, they embarked on pioneering research into radioactivity - a newly discovered phenomenon at that time. Their work was not without risks but proved to be immensely successful. During their collaboration, this dynamic duo unearthed two new elements: polonium and radium. Their remarkable achievements earned them international recognition and acclaim when they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Tragically, Pierre Curie's life was cut short by a fatal road accident. However, his impact on the world of science remains indelible. This monochrome portrait serves as a poignant reminder of his extraordinary intellect and unwavering dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries. Science Photo Library has immortalized this iconic image of Pierre Curie as part of their collection celebrating great minds throughout history. It stands as a testament to his invaluable contributions to chemistry and physics while honoring him as one of France's most esteemed Nobel laureates.
