EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Isaac Barrow, an influential figure in 17th-century England. A man of great intellect and faith, Barrow's contributions to mathematics and his role as a cleric are beautifully captured in this portrait. Born in 1630, Isaac Barrow's brilliance led him to become the Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University in 1663. However, he selflessly resigned from this prestigious position six years later to make way for another mathematical genius - none other than Isaac Newton himself. Barrow's dedication to education continued as he was appointed Master of Trinity College, Cambridge in 1672. It was during his tenure that he founded its library, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of scholars. In this engraving, we see Barrow exuding wisdom and confidence. His piercing gaze reflects both his deep religious convictions as well as his profound understanding of numbers and equations. As a mathematician and clergyman, Barrow embodied the harmonious coexistence between science and religion during this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing the seriousness with which Barrow approached his work. This print serves as a reminder of one man's significant impact on academia and spirituality alike – an individual who left an indelible mark on British history through his unwavering commitment to knowledge and faith.
