EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of French mathematician Abraham de Moivre, created by artist John Faber in 1736. The image captures the essence of De Moivre's intellectual prowess and his significant contributions to mathematics during the Rococo period. De Moivre, born in 1667, was a brilliant mind whose work revolutionized various branches of mathematics. His groundbreaking contributions include advancements in probability theory and trigonometry, making him one of the most influential mathematicians of his time. Faber's skillful etching technique brings De Moivre's likeness to life with intricate details and delicate lines. The portrait exudes an air of wisdom and contemplation as De Moivre gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The subtle playfulness within his expression hints at his passion for unraveling complex mathematical problems. Preserved within the prestigious collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this fine art piece serves as a testament to both De Moivre's legacy and Faber's artistic talent. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where science and art intersected seamlessly. As we admire this exquisite print today, we are reminded not only of De Moivre's profound impact on mathematics but also how art can immortalize great minds throughout history.
