Mathematical diagram by Niccolo Tartaglia
Mathematical diagram by Niccolo Tartaglia. 16th Century mathematical diagram from La noua scientia by the Italian mathematician Niccolo Tartaglia (1550). This publication, regarded as Tartaglias greatest work, showed how the path of a projectile is curved and that a projectile travels the furthest distance when fired at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mathematical diagram created by the renowned Italian mathematician, Niccolo Tartaglia, in the 16th century. Extracted from his groundbreaking publication, "La noua scientia" this diagram represents Tartaglia's greatest work and offers profound insights into projectile motion. Intricately detailed, the illustration reveals how the path of a projectile curves when launched at various angles. However, it is through Tartaglia's meticulous calculations that we learn that a projectile travels its farthest distance when fired at an angle of precisely 45 degrees to the ground. This revolutionary concept revolutionized both gunnery and ballistics during this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of historical authenticity to this piece of artistry. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance and innovation behind Tartaglia's mathematical genius. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured every intricate detail of this rare historical artifact. The image serves as a testament to Europe's rich history in science and mathematics during the Renaissance period. Whether you are an enthusiast for European history or have an affinity for mathematics, this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into one man's contribution to our understanding of physics and arithmetic. A true gem from Italy's past brought to life by Todd-White Art Photography.
