The Anatomy Lesson ~ Rambrandt (CA 1632)
The Anatomy Lesson, Rembrandt (ca 1632) in the seventeenth century science became modern, in the sense that it was based on direct observation and experimentation. This highly dramatic scene, one of the earliest of Rembrandt (who painted it at age 25), shows the masterful control of light and shade, born out by the tense atmosphere of the laboratory, and the expressions of deep curiosity on the student’s faces. (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam)

However valuable Vesalius was to his employer, he could not escape criticism from medical men of the old school. Spain was a dangerous place to make enemies for it was there that the Inquisition wielded enormous power. Even vigilant in their determination to weed out theological novelties, the agents of this unyielding institution were feared by people at all level of society. At some stage suspicion fell upon the belief and practices of Vesalius which, it was suggested, contradicted the teachings of the Church. The details of the case are obscure. It seems that, after examination, he was exonerated. But this did nit stop his rivals pursuing their whispering campaign. ~ Page 98 / 99
