Newton’s Tree - Trinity College

SOLD

The magical myth of Newton’s tree - The famous Isaac Newton sat down beneath this tree outside of Trinity to mull over his thoughts, when all of a sudden he was struck on the top of his head by a large, red apple. ‘Eureka’, he cried, and Gravity was discovered.

(In fact, this tree is a grafted descendant of the original but I am sure it didn’t have such a stunning backdrop)

Painting using inks, coliro watercolour & micron pen on Daler & Rowney Paper
