Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), Dutch physicist, mathematician and astronomer, c1870. Huygens made important contributions in several scientific fields. He postulated that light consisted of waves, determined the nature of Saturns rings, developed the pendulum clock, and applied the balance spring to the pocket watch. He also wrote the first book on Probability Theory, published in 1657

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of Christiaan Huygens, a renowned Dutch physicist, mathematician, and astronomer. Taken around 1870, this portrait showcases Huygens' intellectual prowess and his significant contributions to various scientific fields. Huygens' groundbreaking theories revolutionized our understanding of light as he postulated that it consisted of waves. Furthermore, he unraveled the enigmatic nature of Saturn's rings, providing invaluable insights into celestial bodies. Not limited to astronomy alone, Huygens also made strides in horology by developing the pendulum clock and applying balance springs to pocket watches. His exceptional intellect extended beyond these achievements; in fact, Huygens wrote the first-ever book on Probability Theory which was published in 1657. This polymathic genius left an indelible mark on multiple disciplines during the seventeenth century. In this engraving-turned-photo print from Heritage Images by an unknown creator named Christiaan Huygens (not related to any company), we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of this remarkable man. With a stoic expression adorning his face and an air of confidence surrounding him, Huygens stands as a testament to human curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge. This image serves as a reminder not only of Huygen's extraordinary accomplishments but also pays homage to all scientists who have shaped our world through their unwavering dedication and thirst for discovery.
