Robert Boyle, 17th century Irish chemist and physicist, 1739. After attending school at Eton, Boyle (1627-1691), the seventh son of the 1st Earl of Cork, spent six years in Europe. He settled in Oxford in 1654 and carried out experiments on air, respiration, combustion, and the vacuum with Robert Hooke as his assistant. In 1662 he formulated Boyles Law that pressure and volume of gas are inversely proportional. In 1668 he moved to London and devoted much time to science and the Royal Society. After a portrait by the German painter Johann Kerseboom (fl1680)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Robert Boyle, a prominent 17th-century Irish chemist and physicist. Painted by the talented artist George Vertue in 1739, this portrait showcases Boyle's remarkable contribution to the world of science. Born in 1627 as the seventh son of the 1st Earl of Cork, Boyle embarked on an educational journey that led him to Eton School before spending six transformative years in Europe. Settling in Oxford in 1654, he collaborated with his assistant Robert Hooke on groundbreaking experiments involving air, respiration, combustion, and vacuums. Boyle's most significant achievement came in 1662 when he formulated Boyles Law - a fundamental principle stating that pressure and volume of gas are inversely proportional. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of gases and laid the foundation for modern physics. Later relocating to London in 1668, Boyle dedicated himself wholeheartedly to scientific pursuits while actively contributing to the Royal Society. His tireless efforts earned him recognition as one of Ireland's most renowned scientists. This exquisite engraving is based on a portrait by German painter Johann Kerseboom from around 1680. It beautifully portrays Boyle's intellectual prowess and commanding presence. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of his immense contributions but also his lasting legacy within the realms of chemistry and physics.
