Created around 1790 by an anonymous artist, this etching beautifully captures the essence of Leibniz's intellectual prowess and Neoclassical aesthetics. Leibniz's profound contributions to various fields, including philosophy, mathematics, and logic, have left an indelible mark on human knowledge. His groundbreaking work in calculus alongside Sir Isaac Newton revolutionized mathematics and laid the foundation for modern physics. Moreover, his philosophical ideas on metaphysics and epistemology continue to influence scholars worldwide. In this portrait, Leibniz is depicted with a dignified countenance that reflects his deep intellect and contemplative nature.
