Hypatia c1889
Hypatia c1889 by Swedish Painter Julius Kronberg (1850 – 1921); known for his decorative artwork
Tämä on muotokuva of the noted Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, tähtitieteilijä, and mathematician Hypatia (välillä 350 & 370 – 415 ILMOITUS); who lived in Alexandria, Egypti, that was ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire.
She was a prominent thinker and teacher of philosophy, mathematics and astronomy of the Neoplatonic school in Alexandria; and is the first female mathematician who’s life has been reasonably documented, even though she was preceded by Pandrosion of Alexandria.
In this scene we see her in a room by a large open window resting her left closed fist hand on a marble ledge, and resting her right forearm on a black bust of Greek Philosopher Plato (428/427 tai 424/423 EKP – 348/347 EKP), holding a scroll and quill in her right hand.
Beside her on her right are more scrolls situated upright on a marble table and a large green plant that stretches to where she is seated by the wall of the window that has a decorative motif and two figures on it of a man that is a hunter and a woman, that seems to be seeking protection.
She is looking out of the window past the column that is near her left hand, that overlooks the city of Alexandria and a Christian procession that is taking place as pilgrims carrying crosses walk to a large temple in the distance.
