"Filosofo allo Specchio" (Philosopher at the Mirror) is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting human figures and his interest in the theme of wisdom and contemplation. The painting portrays an elderly philosopher holding a mirror, a symbol of self-reflection and the search for truth. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect and emphasizes the introspective mood of the subject.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Italy, was influenced by Caravaggio's naturalism and the tenebrism of the Neapolitan school. His works often focused on religious subjects, scenes of martyrdom, and portrayals of philosophers and sages, imbued with a sense of realism and psychological depth. "Filosofo allo Specchio" is a testament to Ribera's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, as well as his ability to convey the intellectual and emotional life of his subjects.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its thematic exploration of knowledge and self-awareness. It invites viewers to consider the role of the philosopher in society and the importance of introspection in the pursuit of wisdom. "Filosofo allo Specchio" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jusepe de Ribera and continues to be studied for its contribution to the Baroque period and its reflection of the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of the time.
