"Philosopher in Meditation" (French: "Le Philosophe en méditation"), also known as "St. Joseph in His Study" or "The Philosopher in Contemplation," is a celebrated oil painting by the Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. Created in 1632, during the artist's early period in Amsterdam, the painting measures 28 x 34 cm and is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The painting depicts an intimate interior scene, where an elderly man sits in quiet contemplation by a window, the light of which illuminates the room with a warm, golden glow. The composition is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, which Rembrandt employed to enhance the depth and volume of the space, as well as to focus attention on the central figure. The scene is framed by a winding staircase that leads to a loft, adding to the sense of geometric complexity and philosophical depth.

While the identity of the figure in the painting is not definitively known, it has been variously interpreted as a generic philosopher, a depiction of St. Joseph, or even as Rembrandt's own meditation on the human condition. The work is often praised for its quietude and the contemplative mood it evokes, as well as for its technical mastery in the rendering of light and architectural detail.

"Philosopher in Meditation" is a prime example of Rembrandt's skill in creating narrative through light, shadow, and composition, and it remains an important work in the study of 17th-century Dutch painting. Its enigmatic subject matter and the artist's renowned handling of interior scenes continue to captivate viewers and scholars alike, making it a timeless piece in the oeuvre of one of the most influential artists in the history of Western art.
