Portret van Thales van Milete Possibly 1610 - 1654

This anonymous portrait of Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher, was likely created between 1610 and 1654. The artwork depicts Thales in a bust-length portrait, likely a depiction of the historical philosopher, holding a scroll. The engraving is part of a larger publication dedicated to the seven wise men of Greece, reflecting the continued interest in ancient Greek philosophy and its influence on European thought during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The image is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
