The intersection of these men (Browne, Descartes, Rembrandt) in one location is like a conference of geniuses that's just too good to be not true. Max presumed also that attending an anatomy lesson, a main society event at the time, is just too important for Browne to pass up. <br /><br />So I guess the Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-33404555163581984892010-09-13T02:49:25.307+08:002010-09-13T02:49:25.307+08:00Hi Rise!

Like the mention that Descartes may also have been present. as said before a first edition of the Discourse sur la methode 1637 is listed in Sir T.B.

It certainly puts the speculation on the painting in a more mysterious light. I don’t recall Sebald gave other indications as to why he thinks Browne was present in Dr Tulp’s lesson other than that Browne was present in Holland around that time (January 1632) and that he might have heard of the public dissection in Amsterdam and came to Risehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446964640160585194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769714277850142841.post-16472342813773800652010-09-10T15:57:35.502+08:002010-09-10T15:57:35.502+08:00There's a real problem here as regards Rembran...There's a real problem here as regards Rembrandt's paintings and as to whether Browne is portrayed in them. <br /><br />It was J.S. Finch way back in 1950 who first suggested that Sir T.B. sat for a Rembrandt painting. Browne was in Holland circa 1632-33. In the Dr. Tulp lesson painted 1632 the dissection is witnessed by quite elderly looking men. In the 1656 Deyman lesson it certainly Kevin Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482886706239506749noreply@blogger.com
