Hippolyte Fizeau, French physicist, 1870
Hippolyte Fizeau, French physicist, 1870. Fizeau (1819-1896) measured the velocity of light on the Earths surface (1849). He used Dopplers principle to determine the velocity of stars in line of sight, and confirmed the wave theory of light. From Les Merveilles de la Science by Louis Figuier. (Paris, 1870)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hippolyte Fizeau, a renowned French physicist of the 19th century. Taken in 1870, this portrait captures Fizeau's distinguished features - his body adorned with a long beard that exudes wisdom and intellect. Fizeau (1819-1896) made significant contributions to the field of physics, particularly in measuring the velocity of light on Earth's surface using Doppler's principle. In this engraving from "Les Merveilles de la Science" by Louis Figuier, we witness Fizeau's profound understanding of light as he confirmed the wave theory through his experiments. His groundbreaking work also involved determining the velocity of stars in line of sight, further solidifying his reputation as an accomplished scientist. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back to an era where scientific discoveries were revolutionizing our understanding of the world. This portrait serves as a testament to Fizeau's dedication and passion for unraveling the mysteries of physics. With its rich historical context and striking composition, this print is not just a visual representation but also an homage to one man's remarkable contribution to science. It stands as a reminder that great minds like Hippolyte Fizeau continue to inspire generations with their relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
