Ramus: A Journey Through History and Art Step into the enchanting Nutwell Court in Exeter, where the captivating tale unfolds. This historical figure's life was marked by tragedy and triumph, leaving an indelible mark on art and academia. The death became a turning point in his story. The Salon de 1840 showcased an engraving titled "Ramus attendant ses assassins, " depicting this fateful event that forever changed the course of history. It serves as a haunting reminder of the price he paid for his beliefs. Amidst these somber depictions lies another facet of Ramus' legacy - his influence on famous children. A vibrant colour litho captures their innocent faces, showcasing how his teachings transcended generations and inspired young minds to explore new horizons. Petrus Ramus, also known as Pierre de La Ramee, is immortalized in Armet Portanell's work "La ciencia y sus hombres. " This portrait pays homage to Ramus' intellectual prowess and contributions to various fields, reminding us of his enduring impact even centuries later. Intriguingly juxtaposed with these artistic representations is an Egyptian at the entrance to his dwelling. Symbolic yet enigmatic, it hints at the diverse influences that shaped Ramus' philosophy - drawing inspiration from ancient civilizations while forging new paths forward. Christoffel van Sichem (I) presents us with a striking portrait capturing Pierre de La Ramee's essence. Monogrammist RSV adds their touch to create a mesmerizing image that encapsulates both strength and vulnerability – qualities embodied by this remarkable individual. Delving deeper into Ramus' realm leads us beyond artistry; we encounter medical illustrations such as artwork C016 / 6826 depicting an inferior alveolar nerve block procedure. These visuals remind us that he not only impacted academia but also left traces within scientific advancements.
