AbstractRembrandt's striking painting of a human brain being dissected by a headless figure is actually a fragment of a larger work. The original was both a commissioned group portrait of a surgeons' guild and an account of a public dissection. Such dissections served both educational and entertainment functions in 17th century Holland.
