Galileo and Milton
Galileo and Milton, historical artwork. This meeting, between the English poet John Milton (1608-1674, left) and the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642, right), supposedly took place in 1638. Galileo was convicted as a heretic, for his support of the Copernican theory, by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in 1633. He was placed under house arrest until the end of his life. Milton is known to have explored Italy and a number of artworks show this meeting. Milton was later to mention Galileos situation in his long poem Paradise Lost.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical meeting between two influential figures, Galileo Galilei and John Milton. The artwork depicts the encounter that supposedly took place in 1638, showcasing the Italian astronomer Galileo on the right and English poet John Milton on the left. At this time, Galileo had already faced persecution by the Roman Catholic Inquisition for his support of Copernican theory, resulting in his conviction as a heretic in 1633 and subsequent house arrest until his death. Milton's exploration of Italy is well-documented, and several artworks depict this momentous meeting with Galileo. It is worth noting that Milton later referenced Galileo's unjust situation in his renowned epic poem "Paradise Lost". This particular illustration originates from "History of wonderful inventions" published in London in 1849. The monochrome image showcases both men engrossed in conversation, symbolizing their shared passion for knowledge and discovery. As an accomplished physicist and discoverer, Galileo made groundbreaking contributions to astronomy during the seventeenth century. Meanwhile, Milton's poetic genius has left an indelible mark on literature. This group portrait serves as a testament to these remarkable individuals who defied societal norms to pursue their respective fields of expertise. Through this artwork from Science Photo Library's collection, we are reminded of their enduring legacies that continue to inspire generations even today.
