Induktive Wissenschaft 1882

"Induktive Wissenschaft" (1882) by Hans Canon depicts a scene with a female figure in a red gown, a nude child, and a distant cityscape. The painting, created in a loose and gestural style, showcases Canon’s mastery of light and shadow. It is likely a study for a larger work, suggesting the artist’s interest in the scientific and artistic aspects of observation and representation. The painting's title, “Inductive Science”, further underscores this connection between artistic practice and scientific inquiry.
