A Philosopher is a painting by the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in 1637, this work is a fine example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its intense emotional expression. The painting depicts an elderly, bearded philosopher in deep contemplation, holding a book, which underscores the subject's intellectual pursuits. Ribera's skill in rendering the texture of skin and hair, as well as the philosopher's thoughtful expression, highlights the artist's mastery in portraying human emotion and physicality.

This artwork is part of Ribera's series of paintings focusing on intellectual figures of the ancient world, which includes other works such as "Archimedes" and "Saint Jerome." These paintings reflect Ribera's interest in the theme of wisdom and learning, as well as his ability to convey psychological depth and realism. "A Philosopher" not only exemplifies Ribera's artistic talents but also provides insight into the cultural and intellectual interests of the 17th-century Spanish society in which he worked. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
