Dissekeret med hænderne bundet

Ontleding Des Menschelyken Lichaams

Plate from Ontleding Des Menschelyken Lichaams
by Govert Bidloo, Amsterdam, 1690

"This stark dissection—with ragged flesh fully displayed and hands bound with a cord—signals a commitment to a higher level of realism. To our eyes, the picture may suggest a distressing indifference to, or even pleasure in, human suffering."
