EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph-Louis Lagrange, the renowned French mathematician and astronomer, born on January 25, 1736, in Turin, Italy. Lagrange is considered one of the greatest mathematicians in history, making significant contributions to various fields, including analytic geometry, number theory, and celestial mechanics. He is best known for his work on the three-body problem and the development of the Lagrangian points. Lagrange's impressive career began in 1755 when he won a prize from the French Academy of Sciences for his solution to a problem on the motion of the moon. He moved to Paris in 1757 and became a professor at the École Normale Supérieure in 1766. In 1792, he was appointed to the newly established École Polytechnique. Despite his Italian birth, Lagrange spent most of his professional life in France. He was a member of the French Academy of Sciences and served as its president from 1797 to 1813. Lagrange's work laid the groundwork for modern mathematics and astronomy, and his influence can still be felt in these fields today. This portrait, taken from the collections of the National Library in Paris, captures the intellectual intensity and quiet dignity of this remarkable man. Lagrange's legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists and mathematicians, and his contributions to the world of knowledge remain a testament to the power of human curiosity and ingenuity.
