About the artwork

Rembrandt van Rijn's groundbreaking masterpiece, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp," was painted in 1632. This work was a radical departure from the stiff, formal group portraits of the time, cementing Rembrandt's position as the leading painter in Amsterdam.

The painting depicts the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons' annual public dissection, with Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, the city's official anatomist, at the centre. He is seen demonstrating the musculature of a cadaver's arm to a group of interested surgeons. Rembrandt transforms a seemingly static scene into a moment of intense psychological drama and scientific inquiry.

Rembrandt's genius is visible in the dynamic, pyramidal composition and his masterful use of chiaroscuro. A dramatic light illuminates the pale corpse and the surgeons' fascinated expressions, bringing them out of the deep, dark background. Each surgeon is depicted as an individual, with a distinct expression of curiosity, concentration, or contemplation, giving the impression of a live event. Dr. Tulp is not looking at his fellow surgeons, but at an unseen audience, emphasizing his role as a teacher. This painting is more than just a group portrait; it is a powerful tribute to the Enlightenment spirit, the pursuit of knowledge, and the mysteries of the human body.
