CSI: Rembrandt and Dr. Tulp's Anatomy Lesson

Rembrandt’s Anatomy Lesson of Professor Nicolases Tulp

Mr. Tulp reminds me of Dr. Al Robbins of CSI next to a body on the table J

The portrait is commissioned to 26 year-old Rembrandt as his first important/well- paid job.

The most emphasized figure is the professor Tulp who wears long black hat and pitch dark rope. He is giving a demonstration of anatomy in the important annual conference/meeting.

Three palms are clearly lit with light source ; one with tools to dissect, the other shows authority punctuating his own words, and another with flesh from the body. They form a triangle in the centre of Rembrandt’ distinctive theaterical effect.

杜爾普教授的解剖課/林布蘭特

杜爾普先生讓我想到CSI 裡的Al Robbins 博士:-)

這幅畫是26歲的林布蘭特第一幅重要的被委託的人像畫，也就是說酬勞好的。

裡面最重要的人物，在戲劇般光源中最清楚的當然是正在解剖的杜爾普教授。黑長帽，黑袍與白色領子強調他的臉。這是一年一度重要的學術會議。

我們的視線集中於一個三角型裡，三個手掌間，一個拿著剪刀，一個打著手勢強調他的話，一個是伸得僵直，骨肉可見的屍體的手。
