EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a young Sir Isaac Newton, the renowned English physicist and mathematician who lived from 1643 to 1727. The portrait, created in 1689 by Sir Godfrey Kneller and later enhanced with vibrant colors, captures Newton during his prime years. As one of the greatest scientists of all time, he is best known for his groundbreaking laws of motion and gravitation. His magnum opus, "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" solidified his scientific legacy. Beyond physics and mathematics, Newton's interests spanned various disciplines. He delved into optical physics, alchemy, religious studies, occult investigations, and even served as the superintendent of the Royal Mint to combat forgery. Regarded as an eccentric genius during his lifetime, recent analysis of his remains suggests that mercury poisoning resulting from his alchemical experiments may have contributed to moments of instability. The mezzotint portrait featured here retains its original yellow age toning and is currently held by photographer Paul D. Stewart. It offers a glimpse into the enigmatic persona behind Newton's extraordinary achievements. From inventing reflecting telescopes to formulating calculus through binomial theorem applications – this artwork encapsulates the multifaceted brilliance that defined Sir Isaac Newton's life and contributions to science.
