'Sir Isaac Newton', c1700, (early-mid 19th century). Portrait of English mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Newton's discoveries were prolific and exerted a huge influence on science and thought. His theories of gravity and his three laws of motion were outlined in his greatest work, "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", (1687) and he is credited with discovering differential calculus. Knighted by Queen Anne in 1705, Newton is buried in Westminster Abbey, London. 'From the original of Kneller, in the collection of The Right Honourable The Earl of Egremont'.
