Born in Pisa, Italy, Galileo's contributions to the fields of physics, mathematics, and astronomy left an indelible mark on the scientific world.

This portrait showcases the modern age's fascination with the man who challenged the established beliefs of his time, paving the way for a new understanding of the Earth's place in the universe.
