title: [Dr. Nicolaas Tulp. A critical view of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson].
abstract: Rembrandt's painting 'The Anatomy Lesson' (1632) is revolutionary in its portrayal of members of the Anatomic Guild. It has an entirely new composition and vividly depicts the dynamics of the event and the interest of the participants. However, the structures of the dissected forearm have been taken from a copy and not from the original. The possibility of anatomic errors is discussed here. A short biography of Dr. Tulp is also included.
