N. I. Lobachevsky, Russian mathematician
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792-1856), Russian mathematician. Lobachevsky studied and worked at Kazan University, Kazan, Tatarstan, then part of the Russian Empire. He is most famous for developing in the 1820s a non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, sometimes called Lobachevskian geometry. This artwork shows him studying a book. He is wearing several awards of the Russian Empire. His final years saw him affected by declining health, and he eventually died in poverty in 1856. Forty years later, in 1896, the Lobachevsky Prize was established in his honour, and a crater on the Moon is named after him

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library depicts the renowned Russian mathematician, N. I. Lobachevsky, engrossed in his studies. Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792-1856) was a brilliant mind who dedicated his life to mathematics and made significant contributions to the field. The image showcases Lobachevsky sitting in a library, surrounded by books that fuel his thirst for knowledge. Clad in several prestigious awards of the Russian Empire, he exudes an air of intellectual prowess and accomplishment. Lobachevsky's most notable achievement came in the 1820s when he developed non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, now known as Lobachevskian geometry. This groundbreaking concept challenged traditional Euclidean principles and revolutionized our understanding of space. Despite his remarkable achievements, Lobachevsky faced adversity towards the end of his life. Stricken by declining health and plagued by poverty, he passed away in obscurity in 1856. However, four decades later, his legacy was honored with the establishment of the prestigious Lobachevsky Prize. Today, we remember Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky not only for his mathematical genius but also for his unwavering dedication to expanding human knowledge. His influence continues to shape modern mathematics and inspire generations of aspiring mathematicians worldwide. This stunning artwork serves as a poignant reminder of one man's indelible impact on history – a testament to both human resilience and intellectual curiosity that transcends time itself.
