Description

Galileo`s Thinking Hand represents a fundamental revision of the earlier work Galileo, the Artist published in 2007. The sections incorrectly identifying a forgery as the work of Galileo have been corrected. The work sheds light on the artistic aspects of Galileo`s research life, drawing on a greatly expanded documentational basis. New insights reveal Galileo`s working methods as he explored the moon, sun, moons of Jupiter, and the fixed stars.
