Janos Bolyai, Hungarian mathematician
Janos Bolyai (1802-1860), Hungarian mathematician. Bolyai worked on non-Euclidean geometry, publishing a ground-breaking appendix on the subject in 1832. More than 20, 000 pages of his manuscripts and other works are kept in a library in what is now Romania. He also worked on complex numbers, and spoke more than nine languages. A crater on the Moon was named in his honour. This artwork dates from 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Janos Bolyai, a remarkable Hungarian mathematician whose contributions to the field of mathematics are truly groundbreaking. Born in 1802, Bolyai dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of non-Euclidean geometry, forever altering our understanding of space and dimensions. In 1832, he published an extraordinary appendix on this subject that revolutionized mathematical thinking. His manuscripts and works, totaling over 20,000 pages, are carefully preserved in a library located in present-day Romania. Bolyai's intellectual prowess extended beyond geometry; he also delved into complex numbers and was fluent in more than nine languages. The artwork itself dates back to 1850 and beautifully captures the essence of this brilliant mind. The monochrome illustration portrays Bolyai as a distinguished European gentleman with piercing eyes that reflect his depth of knowledge. This portrait serves as a testament to his significant contributions to mathematics during the 19th century. Bolyai's legacy extends even further beyond academia; a lunar crater bears his name as an honor for his exceptional achievements. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be inspired by Janos Bolyai's relentless pursuit of knowledge and his profound impact on both mathematics and linguistics throughout history.
