Dr. Deiman’s Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt Harmens Van Rhine

Dr. Deimans Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt Harmens Van Rhine

ON THE DIMENSION OF THE PICTURE, it represents only a quarter of the original version, which was badly damaged during the fire in 1723.

As a result, Dr. Deyman stands behind the corpse, as if decapitated, an assistant who holds the top of the skull removed, for no reason at all occupied the leading position, and the others who paid Rembrandt for their seats irretrievably disappeared. Dr. Deiman led the course of anatomy after Dr. Nicholas Tulp; this solemn group portrait was to serve the same purpose as the earlier Anatomy Lesson.

Deyman’s lectures were held in January 1656. This time, Rembrandt portrayed the scene more precisely than before: first, the stomach was opened and the entrails were removed. Deiman demonstrates the structure of the brain, and the skin removed from the skull hangs on both sides of the face like a shock of hair. The legs depicted in perspective are a wonderful visual device, although on a large original it would not be so catchy. Despite this important order, Rembrandt went bankrupt in 1656.
