Some cool historical science paintings I found around. Mostly of alchemists and Galileo.
Speaking of Galileo, I read the book,
Galileo's Daughter, which is a really good biography of Galileo told through letters his daughter wrote while she lived in a convent. Its really interesting and the writing is good, not at all boring. I learned a lot about Galileo's science but also his personality. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the history of science.
