EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless essence of Blaise Pascal, a renowned French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. The marble bust, sculpted by an anonymous 17th-century French artist, resides in the Church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont in Paris, France. Blaise Pascal's intellectual brilliance is evident in his piercing gaze as he gazes into eternity. With his long hair cascading down his shoulders and a draped collar framing his face, he exudes an air of innovation and wisdom. Known for inventing the mechanical calculator and authoring the influential work "Pensees" first published in 1670, Pascal left an indelible mark on scientific thought. Beyond his scientific achievements, this portrait also reveals Pascal's deep religious devotion as a Jansenist Catholic. His contemplative expression hints at the profound spiritual journey that shaped both his life and writings. Studio Giraudon captured this remarkable image in 1931 with meticulous attention to detail. Now preserved within Bridgeman Images' extensive collection of fine art prints, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Pascal's contributions but also the artistic mastery behind its creation. As we admire this print of Blaise Pascal's marble likeness today, we are reminded of how one individual can embody multiple facets: mathematician and philosopher; scientist and believer; innovator with flowing ideas; all encapsulated within one extraordinary mind.
