Description

Hypatia c1889 by Swedish Painter Julius Kronberg (1850 - 1921); known for his decorative artwork

This is a portrait of the noted Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician Hypatia (between 350 & 370 - 415 AD); who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, 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 or 424/423 BCE - 348/347 BCE), 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.

This is a remastered digital art old masters reproduction of a public domain image that is available as a canvas print online.
