This painting should be paired with a replica of the Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek microscope made and distributed by Bausch & Lomb (art. no. 2002.0037). The replica came to us from the Academy of Medicine Collection in Toronto. It would have been a marketing souvenir given to doctors by Bausch and Lomb. The painting and replica are part of the commercial, marketing, image-making dimension of medicine in the early 20th century. In 1935 the painter, W.F. Soare made a series of paintings celebrating the history of optics. This one depicts Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek demonstrating his microscope in 1675. Soare was known as a “pulp artist.” William Fulton Soare was born 1896 in Hackensack, New Jersey. After finishing high school in Hackensack, he and his older brother joined the Army to serve in the Great War with the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. He achieved the rank of Sergeant. After the war he studied art at the Sorbonne in Paris. He returned to New York City and studied with Harvey Dunn, and Dean Cornwell at the Grand central School of Art. In 1927 he opened an art studio at 41 Union Square. In 1935 he received an important public commission to paint a series on the history of progress in optics at the Hayden Planetarium for Bausch & Lomb, Inc. Cette épreuve devrait être réunie avec la réplique du microscope d'Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (art. no. 2002.0037). La réplique nous est venu de la collection de l'académie de médecine à Toronto. Cette peinture a probablement été comme souvenir à certains docteurs par Baush et Lomb. La peinture et la réplique fait partie d'un plan de commercialisation de médecine au début du 20e siècle. En 1935, le peint W.F Soare a fait une série de peintures qui célébraient l'histoire de la science des optiques. Celle-ci représente van Leeuwenhoek qui démontre son microscope en 1675. Soare était connu en tant qu'artiste à pâte à papier. Soare est né en 1896 à Hackensack au New Jersey. Après avoir complété son école secondaire, Soare et son frère se sont inscrits dans l'armée pour participer à la Grande Guerre en Europe. Il a achevé le poste de sergent. Après la guerre, il a été en art à la Sorbonne à Paris. Il est retourné à New York City et a étudié avec Harvey Dunn et Dean Cornwell à l'école " Grand Central School of Art ". En 1927, il a ouvert un studio d'art à 41 rue Union Square. En 1935, il a reçu une subvention pour peinturer une série de peintures sur l'histoire du progrès des optiques au planétarium Hayden pour Bausch & Lomb, Inc.
