Galileo (1564-1642)
Known as a 'hero' of modern science since the 17th century, Galileo is one of the most renowned philosophers, astronomers, and mathematicians of history.
Most famously, he was the first to report telescopic observations of the mountains on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rings of Saturn.
His studies led to fundamental contributions to the study of motion, astronomy, strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method.
In this oil painting he is displayed in his older years, perhaps pondering on his many great life changing discoveries of the world.
