Portrait of a Man, Possibly a Self-Portrait ca. 1635 Velázquez (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez) Spanish This is probably the "portrait of Diego, clothes to be finished" listed in an inventory of the artist's possessions. The sitter relates to a figure in Velázquez's Surrender of Breda (Museo del Prado, Madrid). Scholars have questioned whether the painter would have dared to include himself as a bystander at such a historic military victory, and the surviving evidence suggests that he rarely made studies for his larger works. However, if the figure in that composition is the artist, a preparatory step such as this would have made it easier for Velázquez to transfer his likeness to that large painting..

Ren Descartes ( 31 March 1596 - 11 February 1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician and scientist who spent most of his life in the Dutch Republic. He has been dubbed the father of modern philosophy, and much subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which are studied closely to this day. In particular, his Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments. Descartes' influence in mathematics is equally apparent; the Cartesian coordinate system allowing reference to a point in space as a set of numbers, and allowing algebraic equations to be expressed as geometric shapes in a two-dimensional coordinate system (and conversely, shapes to be described as equations) was named after him. He is credited as the father of analytical geometry, the bridge between algebra and geometry, crucial to the discovery of infinitesimal calculus and analysis. Descartes was also one of the key figures in the scienti
