Diogenes met de lantaarn 1751 - 1816

"Diogenes met de lantaarn" is an etching by Reinier Vinkeles, a Dutch artist active in the late 18th century. The artwork, created between 1751 and 1816, depicts the Greek philosopher Diogenes, famously searching for an honest man with a lantern in broad daylight. Vinkeles's depiction captures the irony and humor of the story, showcasing Diogenes's cynicism and the paradoxical nature of his quest. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
