The Parable of the Rich Fool (Rembrandt)

The Parable of the Rich Fool, also known as The Money Changer,[1] is an oil painting on canvas of 1627 by Rembrandt, now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Produced early in the artist's career, it depicts the eponymous Biblical parable. The model for the figure is said to have been Rembrandt's father.[1]

  • Matthias Stom's Old Woman by Candlelight, 1630–1640, with many similar elements
  • Hendrick Bloemaert's, Woman Selling Eggs, 1632, a comparable composition

gollark: They might struggle to write *idiomatic* Haskell.
gollark: I sort of know it, or at least can write reasonably working code in it even if I don't have an intuitive grasp of the weird underlying category theory stuff, but it's really annoying to do the sort of things my code usually involves in it. It's great for stuff like compilers and complex algorithms at least.
gollark: Haskell is very useful if you need to comonadize a zygohistomorphic prepromorphism.
gollark: Something about "explore-exploit tradeoffs".
