In the mids, the National Portrait Gallery commissioned a series of pictures intended to raise the profiles of some contemporary British scientists who were prominent in their fields but little known to the public.

Stephen William Hawking It was the first of several major portraits of the physicist that would be painted over the next 25 years. They also capture Hawking before, and at various stages of, the global fame that followed the publication of his bestselling book A Brief History of Time in It's rare for a scientist to sit for so many important portraits, and even rarer for a disabled person to do so, and considered together the pictures form a compelling visual biography.

The Sonnabend portrait, painted in , shows Hawking in his early 40s. In contrast to many notable paintings of disabled people — L. Lowry's The Cripples , for example — the focus is not on the misery supposedly inflicted by his impairments but on his status as a scientist. The Cripples There appear to be unfinished equations on the blackboard behind him and we feel that perhaps we have interrupted him at work.

Hawking's youthful appearance makes him seem like someone at the beginning of his career — even though, at the time the picture was painted, he had already been appointed to one of the most prestigious posts in academia and had outlived doctors' initial predictions of his life expectancy by 20 years. Unlike later pictures, painted after Hawking lost much of the movement in his neck, Paul Gopal-Chowdhury 's portrait shows Hawking sitting upright.

Professor Stephen William Hawking. He's ready to answer, his hand poised on the controller of the speech computer he had begun using in This depiction of Hawking as alert, engaged and — crucially — ready to speak counteracts one of the most pervasive myths about him: that, because of the esoteric nature of the work that occupied his mind, and the extent of the disabilities that affected his body, he was separated from society and all but imprisoned in his own world.

When Hawking appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in , the programme's presenter, Sue Lawley, suggested that, unlike previous guests she'd interviewed, he already knew what it was like to be isolated from the rest of the human race. It was an idea he rejected outright. Archived from the original on 19 January Journal of College Science Teaching.
