Heraclitus, Hendrick ter Brugghen, 1628
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is said to have wept for mankind and its stupidity, while his opponent Democritus (the painting opposite) could only laugh at it. Heraclitus looks like a sad old man. He's beaten to death on a globe. With his left hand he makes a disposable gesture, as if he wants to say: 'Everything is in vain, it won't work with the world'.
