"An endless screw that allowed Archimedes c.287-12 BC to drag a ship ashore, Stanza della Mattematica, 1587-1609" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Parigi, which depicts the ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, and engineer Archimedes using a mechanical device to move a ship onto dry land. The fresco is part of a series located in the Stanza della Matematica (Mathematics Room) of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. This series of frescoes, created between 1587 and 1609, celebrates the achievements of mathematicians and their contributions to the field.

Giulio Parigi's work illustrates the legendary story of Archimedes demonstrating the principle of the lever and the mechanical advantage it provides. According to the anecdote, Archimedes claimed that given a lever long enough and a place to stand, he could move the world. The fresco captures the moment where Archimedes, through the application of his mechanical knowledge, is shown dragging a ship ashore using an endless screw, also known as an Archimedes' screw. This device, traditionally used for raising water, is here repurposed to showcase Archimedes' ingenuity in solving practical problems through the application of scientific principles.

The fresco is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the interplay between art, science, and technology during the Renaissance. It reflects the period's reverence for classical antiquity and its thinkers, as well as the contemporary fascination with the practical applications of scientific knowledge. Parigi's work is a testament to the enduring legacy of Archimedes and the profound impact of his inventions on both ancient and modern engineering.

The fresco is an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the ways in which the Renaissance celebrated and was inspired by the intellectual achievements of the past. It remains an object of study for art historians, scientists, and those interested in the history of technology, serving as a visual representation of the connection between theoretical knowledge and practical application that has driven human innovation throughout history.
