Karl Friedrich Gauss, caricature C015 / 6709
Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). Caricature of the German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss. Gauss contributed to all areas of mathematics, especially to number theory. Much of his mathematical research remained unpublished during his lifetime, and the degree to which he anticipated a century of mathematics has only become clear since his death. In 1801 he won fame when his computation of the orbit of Ceres led to the rediscovery of the asteroid. He also studied the Earths magnetic field, and developed the magnetometer with Weber

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print captures the essence of Karl Friedrich Gauss, a renowned German mathematician who lived from 1777 to 1855. Known for his significant contributions to various areas of mathematics, particularly number theory, Gauss's brilliance extended far beyond what was known during his lifetime. Much of his groundbreaking research remained unpublished until after his death, revealing the extent to which he anticipated mathematical advancements that would unfold in the following century. In 1801, Gauss gained fame when he calculated the orbit of Ceres, leading to its rediscovery as an asteroid. His scientific pursuits also included studying Earth's magnetic field and collaborating with Weber in developing the magnetometer. This portrait showcases Gauss against a simple white background, emphasizing his pioneering role in history. The artist skillfully combines elements of comedy and historical illustration in this comical yet respectful portrayal. With meticulous attention to detail, this artwork captures Gauss's intellectual persona as a scientist and mathematician. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character while highlighting key features such as his distinctive hairstyle and facial expression. Overall, this print pays homage to Karl Friedrich Gauss's immense impact on mathematics and science throughout history. It serves as a reminder of his remarkable discoveries that continue to shape our understanding today.
