Rene Descartes, caricature
Rene Descartes. Caricature of the French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes (1596-1650). While travelling in Europe as a young man, Descartes formulated his system of Cartesian coordinates and analytical geometry. This meant that for the first time geometrical problems could be solved algebraically, and vice versa. Descartes philosophical theories were based on rational knowledge, as he believed that information received through the senses was unreliable. He coined the famous phrase cogito ergo sum ( I think, therefore I am )

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a comical caricature of the renowned French philosopher and mathematician, Rene Descartes. In his youth, while exploring Europe, Descartes revolutionized mathematics by formulating Cartesian coordinates and analytical geometry. This groundbreaking achievement allowed for the first-ever integration of algebraic solutions with geometrical problems. Descartes' philosophical theories were rooted in rational knowledge, as he questioned the reliability of information acquired through our senses. His famous phrase "cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am) encapsulates his belief that thinking is proof of existence. The illustration captures Descartes' essence with its monochromatic palette against a white background. It humorously portrays him as an adult man in his thirties or forties, reflecting the 17th-century era in which he lived. As a scientist, mathematician, and philosopher rolled into one figure, this caricature highlights Descartes' significant contributions to multiple fields. His skeptical nature shines through as well; questioning assumptions was at the core of his rationalism and logical approach to philosophy. With this artwork's historical context and attention to detail, it serves as a testament to Descartes' impact on Western philosophy during the scientific revolution. Science Photo Library presents this portrait that pays homage to Rene Descartes—a true pioneer whose work laid the foundation for modern mathematics and continues to inspire critical thinking today.
