"Een aantal overleden filosofen en schrijvers discussiëren met elkaar" is a 1727 etching by Bernard Picart. It depicts a group of deceased philosophers and writers engaging in conversation, with the figures positioned in a natural outdoor setting. The artwork is a visual representation of intellectual discourse, a theme that was popular in the 18th century. Picart's meticulous attention to detail and expressive rendering of the figures create a sense of lively debate. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of ideas and the importance of intellectual exchange.
