EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an imaginary portrait of Pythagoras of Samos, a remarkable figure in ancient Greek history. Born around 570 BC and passing away approximately in 495 BC, Pythagoras was not only a philosopher but also a mathematician who revolutionized the field with his groundbreaking discoveries. He is famously known as the founder of Pythagoreanism, a religious movement that emphasized spiritual and mystical teachings. The image itself is based on a reproduction from the 19th century, which was originally derived from a 16th-century artwork. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this influential thinker, allowing us to glimpse into the face that shaped mathematical principles still used today. Pythagoras' contributions to mathematics are legendary; he formulated what is now known as the Pythagorean theorem - one of geometry's fundamental concepts. This theorem states that in any right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right angle) is equal to the sum of squares of other two sides. As we gaze upon this historical portrait, we cannot help but feel connected to an era long gone yet still impacting our lives today. It serves as a reminder that knowledge transcends time and space while honoring one man's genius and his everlasting legacy in both philosophy and mathematics.
