EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Arithmetic" we are transported back to the 17th century, immersing ourselves in a scene of education and intellectual pursuit. The image showcases a young woman standing confidently at a table, holding a sheet with inscribed numbers in her right hand. She is surrounded by an exquisitely decorated interior, evoking the opulence of the Baroque era. The composition beautifully captures the essence of learning and knowledge as it was valued during that time period. The young woman's poised demeanor suggests her mastery over arithmetic, one of the fundamental disciplines within the liberal arts. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and curve meticulously etched onto paper by Gilles Rousselet. The furniture adorning the room reflects both elegance and functionality, creating an atmosphere conducive to study. This artwork serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage, showcasing not only its artistic prowess but also its commitment to education. As we gaze upon this portrait from centuries past, we can't help but be reminded of how far we have come in our understanding of mathematics and its significance in shaping our world. Displayed proudly within museums worldwide, this piece invites us to reflect on our own educational journeys while paying homage to those who came before us - individuals like Gregoire Huret whose work has stood the test of time.
