EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval portrait depicts the renowned Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), a figure of immense historical significance in the development of mathematical thought. Born in Königsberg, Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), Euler's mathematical prowess was evident from an early age. However, his life was marked by a series of misfortunes, including the loss of both of his eyes. The first eye was lost in 1735, and the second in 1766. Despite these challenges, Euler's determination and passion for mathematics drove him to continue his groundbreaking work. Euler's contributions to various branches of mathematics are extensive, with his name attached to numerous theorems, formulas, and concepts. He made significant strides in number theory, graph theory, topology, and calculus, among other fields. His work laid the foundation for modern mathematics and continues to influence it to this day. In this portrait, Euler is depicted wearing a fur-trimmed hat, which was a common fashion accessory during the 18th century. The closed eyes add an intriguing element to the image, serving as a poignant reminder of the challenges he faced and the resilience that enabled him to make such profound contributions to the world of mathematics. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a true mathematical genius and a testament to the power of human spirit and determination.
