This is a painting of Federico Cesi, who founded the Academia del Lincei (“academy of the lynx-eyed”) in 1603 as an Italian science academy located at the Palazzo Corsini in Rome.  The name was later anglicized to Lincean Academy.  We have americanized it to “Lynceans.”  Since Cesi undoubtedly held the first Lyncean meeting, we include his picture on this “Past Meetings” page.
