Some striking features from the famous lesson of Prof. Tulp are presented: the implication of the spectator in the scene, the unity of the action exalted by the "chiaroscuro", the expression of the movement and of Tulp's personality. In addition, the probable scientific and philosophical underlying thoughts of Rembrandt are discussed having respect to historical data concerning Descartes and Constantin Huygens.
