EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625-1712), the esteemed Italian astronomer and the first Director of the Paris Observatory. Known as "Jean-Dominique Cassini" in later life, he made significant contributions to the field of astronomy, most notably the discovery of four of Saturn's moons between 1671 and 1684. Cassini's discovery of these celestial bodies expanded our understanding of the solar system and solidified his place in the annals of astronomical history. The four moons he discovered are named Iapetus, Rhea, Titan, and Dione, each bearing distinctive characteristics that continue to intrigue scientists today. In this portrait, Cassini is depicted with a curly wig, a common fashion accessory during the late 17th century. He is seen holding a telescope, which was a crucial tool in his groundbreaking discoveries. The oval shape of the print's border adds an elegant touch to the image, reflecting the historical significance of the subject matter. Born in Perinaldo, Italy, in 1625, Cassini began his astronomical career in Thionville, France, where he built his first telescope in 1669. He later moved to Paris and was appointed as the first Director of the Paris Observatory in 1667, where he continued his research until his death in 1712. This print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable astronomer whose discoveries continue to shape our understanding of the universe. The intricate details of the image, from Cassini's wig to the telescope in his hands, serve as a testament to the rich history of astronomical exploration.
