Fine Art Print : Portrait of Marie Curie
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Portrait of Marie Curie
Marie Curie, the Polish-French chemist, (1867 - 1934). Curie worked on radioactivity, a term she coined to describe the rays given off by uranium. Her research coincided with that of Rutherfords and Becquerels in showing that there were three different types of radioactivity: alpha, beta and gamma. In 1903 she won the Nobel Prize for physics with her husband Pierre for their studies in radioactive radiations. In 1911 she won the Nobel Prize for the second time, in chemistry, for the discovery of two new elements, radium and polonium. She died in 1934 of leukaemia caused by the overexposure to radioactive radiation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind and indomitable spirit of Marie Curie, a true pioneer in the field of science. Born in 1867, this Polish-French chemist left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations. Marie Curie's groundbreaking work on radioactivity revolutionized our understanding of the atomic world. Coined by her, the term "radioactivity" described the mysterious rays emitted by uranium. Her research went hand-in-hand with fellow scientists Rutherford and Becquerel, collectively revealing three distinct types of radioactivity: alpha, beta, and gamma. In recognition of her exceptional contributions to physics, Marie Curie became a Nobel laureate not once but twice. In 1903, she shared the prestigious Nobel Prize for physics with her husband Pierre for their pioneering studies on radioactive radiations. Then in 1911, she made history again as the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes when she was honored for discovering two new elements: radium and polonium. Tragically, Marie Curie's relentless pursuit of knowledge came at a great personal cost. Overexposure to radioactive radiation ultimately led to her untimely demise from leukemia in 1934. This remarkable portrait captures both Marie Curie's intellectual brilliance and unwavering determination as she gazes into eternity – forever reminding us that even amidst adversity, one can leave an everlasting impact on humanity through scientific discovery.
