ABSTRACT This article aims to explain the context in which the electromagnetic wave theory was developed and light was identified as an electromagnetic wave. With this aim, it explores Maxwell’s life and times, focusing in particular on the state of knowledge of optics, electricity and magnetism. RESUMEN Este artículo pretende explicar en qué contexto se desarrolló la teoría de las ondas electromagnéticas y se identificó la luz como una de ellas. Para ello se hace un análisis de la figura de Maxwell y su tiempo, haciendo especial hincapié en el estado del conocimiento en óptica, electricidad y magnetismo.
