The painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicholaes Tulp by Rembrandt shows a group of formally dressed men, some wearing dark hats, gathered around a pale, lifeless male corpse lying on a wooden table. Dr Tulp, positioned to the right, gestures with surgical tools as he explains the exposed anatomy of the corpse’s left arm, while the figures around him display varied expressions of curiosity in a dimly lit room with a dramatic sense of light and shadow.
