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.[2] 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]
