Portret van Marin Mersenne 1675 - 1727

Claude Duflos's engraving "Portret van Marin Mersenne" is a portrait of the French monk, Marin Mersenne, depicted in an oval frame. Duflos was a French artist who worked primarily in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The image is a fine example of engraving, a printing technique that creates images by cutting lines into a metal plate. The engraving was made between 1675 and 1727, and it is a valuable historical record of Marin Mersenne, a scholar who made important contributions to mathematics and philosophy.
