Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar day 17 - Happy birthday to Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet (1706-1749), a natural philosopher, #mathematician and #physicist, shown here in my #linocut portrait with #diagrams from her ‘Principes Mathématiques de la Philosophie Naturelle’, a two-volume translation and commentary of Newton’s ‘Principia’, published in 1759 in French in Paris.⠀
