Canvas Print : Charles Darwin, caricature
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Charles Darwin, caricature
Charles Darwin (1809-1882). Caricature of the British naturalist Charles Darwin, pictured with an over-sized forehead and his eyes closed, as if deep in thought. Darwin proposed the theory of evolution with natural selection as the driving force behind it. When his theory was published, in On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection (1859), it caused a storm of controversy as it flew in the face of the widely accepted belief that species were created as they now are, by a divine creator (ie God). Although most scientists now accept evolution and natural selection based on overwhelming evidence, some controversy remains surrounding the issue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles Darwin, one of history's most influential figures. In this comical caricature, Darwin is depicted with an exaggerated forehead and closed eyes, seemingly lost in deep thought. The image reflects his profound intellect and relentless pursuit of knowledge. Charles Darwin revolutionized our understanding of the natural world through his groundbreaking theory of evolution by natural selection. His seminal work, "On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection" published in 1859, challenged long-held beliefs about creationism and sparked intense controversy. Despite facing vehement opposition from those who adhered to the notion that species were divinely created, Darwin's theory eventually gained widespread acceptance among scientists due to its overwhelming evidence. However, even today, some controversy lingers around evolutionary biology. This historical illustration showcases not only Darwin as a person but also represents a pivotal moment in scientific history. It serves as a reminder that great ideas often face resistance before they are embraced by society. The artist skillfully captures both the serious nature of Darwin's work and adds a touch of humor to this portrayal. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the mind behind one of science's greatest breakthroughs – a man whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of life on Earth.
