Marie and Pierre Curie, French physicists

Marie and Pierre Curie. Marie Curie (1867-1934, nee Marya Sklodowska), was born in Poland. In 1891 she became a student at the Sorbonne university in Paris, France. There she met and married the French physicist Pierre Curie (1859- 1906). They isolated the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. Marie and Pierre won shares of the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics, and Marie won the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry (Pierre died in an accident in 1906). Photographed to accompany an article in the American magazine The Twentieth Century Home, commemorating their discovery of radium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant minds of Marie and Pierre Curie, renowned French physicists who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity. The image showcases a couple deeply committed to their scientific pursuits, with Marie Curie's determined gaze complemented by Pierre's supportive presence. Marie Curie, born Marya Sklodowska in Poland, embarked on her academic journey at Sorbonne University in Paris where she crossed paths with Pierre Curie. Their partnership extended beyond marriage as they collaborated on isolating the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. This monumental achievement earned them shares of the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Tragically, Pierre met his untimely demise due to an accident in 1906, leaving behind a grieving Marie who continued their work tirelessly. Her unwavering dedication led to further recognition when she became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911. This photograph was taken specifically for an article featured in The Twentieth Century Home magazine, commemorating their remarkable discovery of radium. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and contributions that revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and physics. The image encapsulates not only their professional achievements but also highlights the profound bond between this extraordinary husband-wife duo. Together they defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of scientists while leaving an indelible mark on history.
