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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the collection of the \u003cstrong\u003eRijksmuseum\u003c\/strong\u003e, Amsterdam.
