This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the renowned Greek philosopher Pythagoras alongside Egyptian priests. The image depicts an intriguing scene where Pythagoras is engaged in deep conversation with the priests, suggesting a profound exchange of knowledge and ideas. Pythagoras, known for his contributions to mathematics and philosophy, spent over two decades studying in Egypt. It was during this time that he is believed to have acquired the knowledge necessary to develop what we now know as Pythagoras Theorem – a fundamental principle in geometry involving triangles. Later on, Pythagoras established an unconventional religious community in southern Italy based on his mystical belief that "all is number". This artwork from the 19th century book Vies des Savants Illustres beautifully illustrates this historical figure's journey and impact. The composition of the image showcases architectural elements such as classical columns and intricate carvings found within an ancient temple setting. A diverse crowd can be seen gathered around, attentively listening to Pythagoras' teachings.
