Sir Isaac Newton, 1774. Artist: William Sharp
Sir Isaac Newton, 1774. Isaac Newton (1642-1727), English mathematician, astronomer and physicist. Newtons discoveries were prolific and exerted a huge influence on science and thought. His theories of gravity and his three laws of motion were outlined in his greatest work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, (1687) and he is credited with discovering differential calculus. He also formulated theories regarding optics and the nature of light that led to him building the first reflecting telescope. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705, Newton is buried in Westminster Abbey, London. A plate from The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure, London, 1774

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Sir Isaac Newton, one of history's greatest minds. Painted by William Sharp in 1774, it showcases Newton's intellectual prowess and his significant contributions to science and thought. Born in 1642, this English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Newton's groundbreaking discoveries continue to shape scientific principles today. His theory of gravity and three laws of motion were outlined in his magnum opus, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687). Additionally, he is credited with discovering differential calculus and formulating theories on optics that led to the creation of the first reflecting telescope. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 for his remarkable achievements, Newton rests eternally at Westminster Abbey in London. This portrait from The Copper-Plate Magazine or A Monthly Treasure (1774) pays homage to a man whose brilliance knew no bounds. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into Newton's world—a time when mathematics intertwined with astronomy and physics. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, his legacy remains an integral part of scientific progress. As we admire this monochrome image capturing Sir Isaac Newton's visage—serious yet contemplative—we are reminded of how one individual can change the course of human knowledge forever.
