Which 1632 painting made Rembrandt famous for depicting a public dissection?

The 1632 painting depicting a public dissection is The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp.

The work shows the Amsterdam surgeons’ guild during a lesson led by Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. Tulp demonstrates the muscles and tendons of a cadaver’s left forearm while several observers watch closely. The dead man was Aris Kindt, a criminal executed earlier that day.

Rembrandt was only about 26 when he painted the work. Instead of presenting the figures as a conventional lineup, he arranged them in a compact group with varied poses and expressions. This gave the commissioned portrait unusual drama and helped establish his reputation in Amsterdam.

The painting is now in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. Its subject links art, medicine, civic institutions, and the public anatomy tradition of the Dutch Republic.
