I have found another painting which involves mathematics. It is a painting of the English mathematician John Wallis (1616-1703). It is made in 1648 by the Dutch painter Ferdinand Bol and is called: “Portret van een mathematicus” (Portret of a mathematician).
Nice one!
ReplyDeleteCould you guess the problem he was working on? :)
I couldn't! of course. But by now, everybody knows I'm no Mathematician at all.
