The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp | Rembrandt | 1632

This painting depicts Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, a prominent Amsterdam physician, demonstrating the dissection of a cadaver's arm to a group of onlookers. The onlookers are believed to be members of the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons.

This work is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt masterfully employs to focus attention on the key elements of the scene—Dr. Tulp and the dissected arm. The painting also reflects the period's interest in anatomy and science, representing the intersection of art, medicine, and education in the Dutch Golden Age. The attention to detail in the facial expressions and clothing adds to the realism and gravitas of the scene.
