This copperplate engraving captures the essence of Galileo Galilei, a renowned Italian astronomer and mathematician. Created by Francesco Villamena, an esteemed engraver of his time, this portrait showcases Galileo's intellectual prowess and scientific contributions. The image depicts Galileo surrounded by symbolic elements that represent his groundbreaking work. On the left side, a cherub holds Galileo's military compass, symbolizing his precision in measuring and calculating distances.

The black-and-white composition adds depth to the print while emphasizing the seriousness and dedication with which Galileo pursued knowledge. His piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and determination as he gazes into the distance.

Francesco Villamena skillfully captured not only Galileo's physical appearance but also his profound influence on European scientific thought.
