Description
Even a dark chapter in history at that time.
The Catholic Church forbade the dissection of corpses. As long affected the science. After the Reformation there were circles of curious scientists to unravel the mystery of human anatomy. The weeping woman on the edge, the widow of the man on the table. She cries, but has laid the purse in her hand, which she received for the sale of the corpse.
But what should a poor, poor widow?
The image is based on the Rembrandt painting "The Anatomy of Dr. Tulp "
Only the widow 's story comes from my sick imagination ...
Thank you for looking and comments^^
Better look in fullsize^^

I remember reading something about this. I guess they had to learn someway. Many just used to bleed the sick people which cost even more lives. Excellent work! (:
A poor widow has to eat ;) Excellent scene, great lighting and costumes.
What a fantastic scene!!!!!!!
Take the money and run. Don't stay around to see what is happening to her poor dear hubbie. This posing and lighting is awesome. Sent you an email about any problems you may of had rendering etc. 5+++++
Well if they had not done this back then, medicine would not be what it is today. Greusome as it sounds. Excellent interrputation of Rembrandts image.
Gorgeous perspective my friend, wonderful lighting and composition, excellent work!
I think this is incredible art work the posing is fantastic !!
~This is a real masterpiece! The posing and costumes are excellent and the addition of the widow is a wonderful personal touch and story to your copy of the Rembrandt! Amazing work! Bravo!~
a place where this was done was called Theater Anatomicum There is still such a builing in my city. On the inside modern now.. for meetings but on the outside you can recognize it clearly Very high windows (that was not common in NL) and they start at about 2m05 from the ground so much light inside, but hard to look inside by ordinary people walking in the street. Of course I can imagine the kids sitting on eachothers shoulders or standing on boxes.
superbe image!!
Wow, gruesome scene but I think depicts a quite real scenario including the widow. Superb composition and lighting. Excellent work indeed.

Einfach eine fantastische Grafik liebe Elke, abgesehen von den damaligen Gepflogenheiten in Sachen Medizin, aber das kennen wir ja schon von einem Dr. M. & das ist noch nicht soooooooo lange her........... Tolles Pixelchen mit all den vielen Einzelheiten!

Fantastic scene - excellent work!
Excellent!!!!!
Super tolles Bild! Exzellente Posen und Kleidung und Beleuchtung; kommt dem Original ziemlich nahe. Da steckt viel Arbeit drin!
Very good and detailed composition.
Absolut klasse Szene. Die Anfänge der Pathologie. Die Kleidung, das Handbuch, die Frau im Hintergrund (ich glaube Übelkeit erkennen zu können) und der Schatten vom Fensterkreuz....alles ganz feine Detail. Saubere Arbeit!! 10+
Wow ! I had missed that one !! An amazing work on the composition, it's complex and so well composed ... the lighitng, the expressions, all makes the scene working very good !
