The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp by Rembrandt: The subjects of this gruesome painting-both the surgeon and the cadaver-prove just as fascinating as the Dutch master’s use of symbolism.

"There are a million stories in the world of Art ...." Please tell the ALL, sir. I'll happily watch and even endure the commercials.
As undergraduate medical students, we had a formalin-fixed corpse to dissect throughout the year. We started on the arm. Don't know if the syllabus was influenced by Rembrandt, but it would be nice to think so.
I don't know if I'd call keeping the arm for 35 years 'hoarding', what are you supposed to do with an arm in a jar, anyway? You can't put in the trash, it would be weird, could give someone a heart attack. You could bury it, I guess?
I love Rembrandt. He is the only painter that has made me genuinely cry. He's that awesomely good. Other painters have disgusted me, thrilled me, intrigued me, scared me. But Rembrandt is the only one so far that has made me cry with actual sadness and tenderness. It was his epic "The Return of the Prodigal Son" that did it for me. Magnificent painting. And then there are those eyes he painted--Rembrandt has painted the best eyes I have ever seen in art. Those eyes in his self-portraits are just filled with such grief, anticipation, anxiety and intelligence all mixed together. Then there's his dead cow carcass painting, which is another magnificent tour de force. He got very close to modern art there, 350 years early.
Waldemar is almost always provocative (holding lizards, eating unusual items), and this is no exception. I don't see any real value added by the flayed humans in almost every scene. Are we to be ashamed that we don't relish the sight the way the 17th century Dutch did? But ok -- he got our attention and taught us something about Rembrandt.

Ohhh Waldy... we LOVE you!! You enrich our lives!!!
So, I have a quibble. I am an anatomical artist (albeit in America) and I have been allowed to dissect, be IN dissections, and attend surgery, Professor Hagens.
One of the most gruesome of Renaissance paintings must be Titian's "The flaying of Marsyas"which shows the god Apollo killing the satyr Marsyas by peeling off his skin and there is even a little dog lapping up the blood!Yet Titian makes it look like a pleasant day out in the park!
Where Waldemar goes, I go.
I adore Rembrandt. The Anatomy of Dr. Tulp is one of my favorite paintings and I have always appreciated Rembrandt's fascination with light and dark. Absolutely beautiful.
Waldemar didn't disappoint.
WALDEMAR IS AWESOME!!
This reminds me of a show I used to watch. It was called "Night Gallery".
Utterly intriguing , penetrating and a brilliant script and [execution ] as usual from Waldemar '
The research and the in depth knowledge and above all the narration is simply too good that everything breezes through.
You are brilliant Sir....Please keep going!
Having been subject to a lot of surgery (c-section, cancer) I appreciate surgeons' skill.
