Rembrandt: Philosophers and Thinkers

Rembrandt was a Dutch artist. During his life, he painted a lot of artworks with a common subject: philosophers and thinkers. Most of them show the conspicuous attributes of scholarship or philosophy: books, globe, scientific instruments, etc. The particularity of these paintings is also the presence of one other figure involved in domestic tasks that does not fit in with the solitude associated with study and meditation.
