An Astronomer is an oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Ferdinand Bol, created in 1652. He was a student of Rembrandt. It is now in the National Gallery, London, to which it was donated by E.A.Bennett in 1862.[1]

It shows an astronomer at a table, on which are terrestrial and celestial globes on the table. The work also draws on the themes of Melencolia I, an engraving by Albrecht Dürer.
