Lecture by Nicolaas Tulp, of the Anatomical Institute, Amsterdam, to pupils gathered round a table, on which lies the dead body of a man which he has partly dissected. Eight figures, those in foreground seen half-length, all portraits. Rembrandt's fame dates from this picture, which is remarkable in composition, expression, execution, and beauty of colouring. Painted for Guild of Surgeons, Amsterdam; in their hall until 1828, when sold to king for 36,000 florins. Etched by L. Flameng. Engraved by J. de Frey. Similar subject previously painted by Aert Pietersen (1603), Thomas de Keyser (1619); Nicolaas Elias (1625), and Pieter van Mirevelt (1617).—Kugler (Crowe), ii. 368; Ch. Blanc, Rembrandt, 379; Mollett, 23; Smith, vii. 61; Fromentin, Les Maîtres d'autrefois, 291; Vosmaer, 23, 425.
