EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "Popular Astronomy" in 1880 depicts the renowned philosopher and mathematician, Isaac Newton, at the tender age of 23. In this mesmerizing portrayal, we catch a glimpse into a pivotal moment that would shape his legacy forever. As the story goes, on one fateful evening, Newton found himself lost in a dreamlike state. His gaze fixated upon an apple tree before him as he observed intently. Suddenly, gravity unveiled its secrets to him as he witnessed an apple gracefully falling from its branches to the ground below. In this single instance of nature's dance, Newton's brilliant mind unraveled the laws of gravity that govern our earthly existence. This revelation marked a turning point not only for science but also for humanity's understanding of the universe itself. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Camille Flammarion (1842-1925), who masterfully captures Newton's intellectual prowess and innate curiosity within every stroke. The attention to detail brings forth not just a portrait but also an embodiment of knowledge and enlightenment. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when great minds like Newton sought answers beyond what was known. It serves as a powerful reminder that even dreams can lead us towards groundbreaking discoveries and reshape our perception of reality. Jean Bernard skillfully preserves this significant moment in history through his meticulous reproduction technique. As we admire this piece today, let it serve as inspiration to embrace our own dreams and pursue knowledge with unwavering passion – just as Isaac Newton did centuries ago.
