Description: | This work is a copy of a painting by Rembrandt in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Holland. The group was painted by Rembrandt in 1632 as part of the series of anatomy lessons commissioned from time to time by the Surgeons' Guild of Amsterdam. It was his first large commission. The group of men sit or stand around a table holding a corpse with Dr Tulp the instructor. The arm has been dissected and a bundle of arm muscles are lifted using forceps. Rembrandt uses light to create a sense of action and suspense. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch painter, draftsman and printmaker, 1606-1669) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8485... | Go to resource |
