About this work

An elderly bearded scholar in a dark fur-trimmed robe sits in a carved chair, gesturing thoughtfully, while a younger monk in a dark hooded habit uses brass dividers on a celestial globe. Stacked books, rolled manuscripts, and shelves of volumes fill the dimly lit study. This oil-style painting by Félix Parra depicts Galileo at the University of Padua demonstrating new astronomical theories.
