Galileo by Ottavio Leoni

    Caption: Galileo Galilei (1564--1642) in 1624. A detail from a portrait in crayon by Ottavio Leoni (1578--1630), current location: Biblioteca Marucelliana, Florence, Italy.

    "Galileo, age 60, clad in his doctoral robes. His thick beard and eyebrows give him a brooding look, emphasizing his pensive expression." (Slightly edited from Museo Galileo.)

    Galileo is usually cited as the most representative figure of the Scientific Revolution (c.1543--c.1687).
