Rembrandt 2010

"Rembrandt" is a 2010 painting by Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd, known for his contemporary approach to art history. The painting features a reimagined version of Rembrandt's iconic "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" (1632). Roitburd transforms the original scene by adding a reclining nude woman, a stark contrast to the anatomical dissection in the original. This dynamic interplay between the original and Roitburd's additions creates a powerful commentary on the historical, cultural, and artistic contexts of both works.
