Description: | Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) devoted his life to scientific, especially astronomical experiments. Although not the inventor of the telescope, he was its developer and the first to apply the telescope to astronomical observations, revealing the mountains in the Moon, numerous stars invisible to the naked eye, the nature of the Milky Way, and four of Jupiter's satellites. Suttermans was a Flemish artist and draughtsman active in Italy. He became court painter to the Medici family and considered the foremost portrait painter in Italy, rivalling the work of van Dyck, Rubens, and Holbein. | Subjects: | Galileo); figure; still life; interior portrait (Galilei | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Suttermans, Justus (Flemish painter, 1597-1681, active in Italy) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8878... | Go to resource |
