In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness a pivotal moment in scientific history as Galileo demonstrates the existence of Jupiter's satellites to the esteemed Senators of Venice. The French School artist skillfully captures the awe and wonder on the faces of these influential figures as they gaze through Galileo's telescope at the celestial wonders above. The scene takes place within the grandeur of Doge's Palace, symbolizing both power and knowledge. Galileo, regarded as one of history's greatest scientists, stands confidently before them, his eyes filled with passion for discovery. With his pointing finger directed towards Jupiter and its orbiting moons, he unveils a new understanding of our universe. This image is an illustration for Cent Tableaux de Science Pittoresque by Albert-Levy, published in 1883.
