This famous painting by Caspar David Friederic is entitled Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. To me it's a kind of commentary on the human condition, but also a perspective on what may have inspired Newton, Einstein, and so many others.

Hi Richard,
You have probably heard of the famous words from Newton, 'If I have seen further than others, it's because I've stood on the shoulders of giants'. Brilliant metaphor. Reading his biography at the moment.

I've tread a bio of Netwon but I don't think it was that one, I'll take a look, thanks!
