Peter Apian (1495-1552), German geographer, mathematician and astronomer
Peter Apian (1495-1552), German geographer, mathematician and astronomer. Apian established his reputation by issuing a world map in 1520, and the publication, in 1524, of his work of geography Cosmographia. In 1527 he published Rechnung, an arithmetical textbook, which included the first printed account of Pascals triangle. Apians most important work in astronomy was his Astronomicum Caesareum of 1540, which contained detailed descriptions of five comets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases the renowned Peter Apian, a German geographer, mathematician, and astronomer of the 16th century. With his distinguished beard and scholarly attire, Apian exudes an air of intellect and expertise in his chosen fields. Apian's contributions to various disciplines are remarkable. He gained recognition through his world map published in 1520 and further solidified his reputation with the release of Cosmographia in 1524—a groundbreaking work on geography. In 1527, he authored Rechnung, an arithmetic textbook that included the first printed account of Pascal's triangle—an important mathematical concept. However, it was Apian's Astronomicum Caesareum published in 1540 that truly showcased his astronomical prowess. This influential work provided detailed descriptions of five comets and solidified his status as a leading authority in astronomy during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this engraved portrait by Petrus Apianus—capturing every intricate detail from Apian's hat to his expressive face—we are reminded of the immense impact this German scientist had on our understanding of mathematics, geography, and astronomy. His dedication to expanding knowledge has left an indelible mark on history. This print serves as a testament to Peter Apian's legacy—a man whose intellectual pursuits continue to inspire generations even centuries after his time.
