Specialist Notes
Médecin ordinaire for King Louis XIV Marin Cureau de la Chambre (1594-1669) was an influential French physician and philosopher. He was among the first members of the Académie Française and of the Académie des Sciences. Famous for his work on physiognomy, his ability to judge human character based on physical appearance aroused great interest especially at court. Of vast culture, he wrote books on philosophy, translated Aristotle's Physics and investigated the optical phenomena of refraction by studying primary and secondary colors. In 1991, the asteroid 7126 Cureau was named after him.
