Émilie du Châtelet

Art by Fiona Hill (tumblr)

Émilie is best known for her 1759 translation of Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica.  It is still the leading French translation today.   A close romantic and professional companion of Voltaire, Émilie wrote on a wide variety of subjects including mathematics, physics, philosophy, and female education.

In 1737, Émilie published a paper on the nature of fire which foresaw the discovery of infrared radiation by William Hershel in 1800.  Frustrated by the lack of cohesion between the work of Isaac Newton and the work of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Émilie combined elements of both along with the work of other scientists in Institutions de Physique.  Created as a textbook for her thirteen year old son, the book was published anonymously in 1740 and soon became popular in France.  

On September 4, 1749, Émilie gave birth to her fourth child, a daughter named Stanislas-Adélaïde du Châtelet, the biological daughter of the poet Jean François de Saint-Lambert.  A week later, Émilie died from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 42.

Tried using oil over a crappy picture I printed, think it came out nice c:

edit:just noticed that it looks like I wrote magnifying ass. It's a comment about a magnifying glass.

Well I’ve started photographing my life drawing, this is from a while ago, either the end of second year or sometime before Christmas. I love that I can see the improvement in this stuff!

Blind and semi blind. Hate how pencil looks but what can you do. Think this was near the start of second year.

This was such an amazingly funny episode to work on! I remember being in stitches laughing at some of the puns.

Although now I recall..that the first time we watched this through at an episode meeting I lost it at "princess butt for a face" and had to stop taking notes for a few minutes..
