EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Antoine Deparcieux, a renowned French mathematician and physicist who lived from 1703 to 1768. The image is an etching created by Charles Nicholas Cochin and later engraved by B (Benedict Alphonse) Nicolet in 1777. In this sepia-toned portrait, Deparcieux is depicted in profile, his gaze focused intently on something beyond the frame. His dignified posture and thoughtful expression convey the intellect and curiosity that made him a prominent figure in the scientific community of his time. Deparcieux's contributions to mathematics and physics were groundbreaking. He was particularly known for his work on probability theory, where he developed important concepts such as expected value and statistical inference. His research laid the foundation for modern statistics. The artistry of Cochin's etching combined with Nicolet's engraving technique brings out the intricate details of Deparcieux's features, capturing not only his physical appearance but also hinting at his profound intellectual depth. This print from The Granger Collection serves as a tribute to Antoine Deparcieux’s enduring legacy as a pioneering mathematician and physicist. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of artistic craftsmanship and the brilliance of scientific minds that have shaped our understanding of the world around us.
