David Hilbert, caricature C015 / 6702
David Hilbert (1862-1943). Caricature of the German mathematician David Hilbert. Hilbert is regarded by many as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He was educated at Konigsberg and Heidelberg, taught at Konigsberg and became professor of mathematics at Gottingen in 1895. His first work was in number theory, creating a general theory of invariants. He later applied this to topology, developing the concept of infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. This opened the way for quantum theorists such as Schrodinger, Heisenberg and Dirac. Hilbert also championed formalism in mathematical logic and philosophy, inspiring Godel to formulate his opposing theory of mathematical inconsistency

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Introducing our latest addition to the Media Storehouse Poster Prints collection: a captivating caricature of the renowned German mathematician, David Hilbert, by acclaimed artist Gary Brown from Science Photo Library. Known for his significant contributions to mathematics, Hilbert is celebrated as one of the greatest minds in the field. This vibrant and witty poster print is perfect for inspiring curiosity in mathematics and decorating any space, be it a home office, classroom, or study room. Immerse yourself in the rich history of mathematics and bring a touch of intellectual charm to your surroundings with this striking David Hilbert caricature print.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print captures the essence of David Hilbert, a renowned German mathematician who left an indelible mark on the field. With his bald head, thick beard, and spectacles perched on his nose, Hilbert's image exudes wisdom and intellect. The artist has skillfully portrayed him in a comical yet respectful manner, highlighting both his historical significance and unique personality. Hilbert's contributions to mathematics are unparalleled. Educated at Konigsberg and Heidelberg, he later became a professor of mathematics at Gottingen University. His groundbreaking work began with number theory but soon expanded into topology where he introduced the concept of infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space. This revolutionary idea paved the way for future quantum theorists like Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Dirac. Beyond mathematics itself, Hilbert also championed formalism in mathematical logic and philosophy. His ideas inspired other great thinkers such as Godel to develop their opposing theories on mathematical inconsistency. This portrait not only showcases Hilbert's physical appearance but also encapsulates his immense influence on the world of science during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It serves as a reminder of his lasting legacy that continues to shape our understanding of mathematics today.
