The appearance of Galileo’s Dialogue in a forgotten painting launches John Heilbron’s exploration of science and culture in Stuart England, and its deep connections with continental Europe. Ranging across art history, politics, and religion, he unravels the painting’s mysteries, setting its sitters and painter against their rich cultural backdrop.
