Arnhemensis

[edit]
"Arnhemensis" is latin for "from Arnhem", i.e. the birthplace of Lorentz. This picture was actually painted by Menso Kamerlingh Onnes, brother of Heike. The walls of the Senate Room in the old Academy building of the University of Leiden are completely covered with paintings like the ones of Lorentz, Kamerlingh Onnes, and Einstein, and more are in storage.
