Newton, Bronze statue at British Library, London Borough of Camden, United Kingdom
The 12-foot Newton statue depicts Sir Isaac Newton measuring the universe with a pair of dividers, showing mathematical calculations and scientific precision.
Eduardo Paolozzi created this bronze monument in 1995, drawing inspiration from a 1795 William Blake print of Newton as a divine mathematician.
The sculpture stands at the entrance of the British Library, connecting the worlds of scientific discovery with literary and academic achievements.
Visitors can examine the statue daily without admission fees while exploring the British Library complex at 96 Euston Road.
The geometric patterns etched into Newton's body merge Renaissance anatomical drawings with contemporary mechanical and technological elements.
