EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind and timeless legacy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, a renowned German philosopher and mathematician. Born in 1646 and leaving an indelible mark until his passing in 1716, Leibnitz earned the moniker "Aristotle of the 17th century" due to his insatiable curiosity across various fields of knowledge. In this portrait, we witness a man whose intellectual prowess is matched only by his inventiveness. In 1671, Leibnitz astounded the world with his groundbreaking calculating machine - a marvel that not only added and subtracted but also multiplied and divided. Moreover, he was the first to recognize the profound significance of binary notation within this invention. Leibnitz's contributions extended far beyond mathematics; he published a comprehensive system of calculus in 1684 that revolutionized scientific thinking.
