How Does Art Mirror Society?

The painting named 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' is an oil on canvas painting, which was painted by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1632, during the Renaissance period. This picture reflects the Renaissance of the science by looking at the laying body with separated arm and the people's facial expressions in this piece of art. During the Renaissance, many scientists started wondering about how the human body actually looks like. In this picture, people's facial expressions show that they are curious on what they are doing- the dissection of the human arm. Also, the knife held by the Dr. Tulp shows that he already started to find the answer of scientists’ question. Moreover, we can also infer that the scientists were allowed to have an anatomy lesson during that period. This changed the world right now. Nowadays, we can have surgery whenever we are sick, because we now know about the human body a lot more than past. In addition, this action of the people is also connected to the new knowledge of the people. It is because by having the new lessons, they had an opportunity to get lots of information. In conclusion, the past information could effect later world with more detailed information and experiments.
