The AstronomersNiccolò Tornioli
This allegorical scene (1643) gathers men and women of different ages around astronomical instruments, books, and charts. Sweeping gestures and concentrated gazes emphasize shared engagement in study rather than individual portraiture. Strong contrasts of light and shadow dramatize the passage from ignorance to insight, casting scientific inquiry as a path toward illumination.
