1749 1822 Astronomer Bald Baptiste Boilly Holl Medal Plump Delambre
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the distinguished face of Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Delambre (1749-1822), a renowned French astronomer and mathematician. Delambre's significant contributions to the field of astronomy, particularly in the measurement of the arc of the meridian, solidified his place in the annals of scientific history. Delambre's image is depicted here with a thoughtful expression, his piercing eyes gazing intently beyond the frame. His balding head is framed by a high collar, adding an air of sophistication and authority to the composition. The plumpness of his face and the slight creases around his eyes speak to the long hours spent in deep concentration over complex astronomical calculations. Delambre's image was captured by the skilled hand of the French artist, Alexandre-Theodore-Henri Hollande (1765-1834), also known as Boilly. The painting was completed in 1822, just a few years before Delambre's death. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of Delambre's features and the rich textures of his clothing are a testament to Boilly's artistic mastery. Delambre's medal, proudly displayed on the lapel of his coat, bears the insignia of the Legion of Honor, a prestigious French order of merit for military and civil merit. The medal signifies Delambre's recognition as a leading figure in the scientific community and a true pioneer in the field of astronomy. This historic portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a brilliant mind and a pivotal moment in the history of scientific discovery. Delambre's legacy continues to inspire and influence generations of astronomers and mathematicians, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of scientific or historical art.
