(keep in mind there are many other choices to be had here, these are just some suggestions)
Don't rule out the great artists because of lack of contributions to
science. I think a great artist must have an abnormally well grasp of the universe (for a human that is) to really be able to make beautiful art.
Give some reasons too. I'm not sure I have an opinion as of yet, but I'd be tempted to sway towards a philosopher or an artist(writer, painter, composer) over a man of science.
