ABOUT THIS PIECE Hendrick ter Brugghen's Democritus was created in 1628 and is in Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. The size of the work is 85,7 x 70 cm and is made of oil on canvas. The Greek philosophers Democritus and Heraclitus were considered to be polar opposites. In contrast to the old, melancholy Heraclitus (the nearby pendant), Democritus appears as a young, laughing hedonist. He points to the distance, as though that is where the folly of mankind is found. Together, the pair of paintings conveys a moralizing message: whether you laugh or cry, the world remains incurably foolish. The Artist: Hendrick ter Brugghen (1588 - 1629) was a Dutch painter of genre scenes and religious subjects. He was a leading member of the Dutch followers of Caravaggio.
