Masterpiece Story: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt van Rijn
Rembrandt painted this group portrait of seven surgeons and the physician Nicolaes Tulp in 1632. He was only 26 years old at that point. Nicolaes Tulp was a famous doctor, the head of the Guild of Surgeons. He trained Amsterdam surgeons at practical demonstrations in the anatomy theatre twice a week. But once a year there was one public autopsy, conducted in the winter because the stench of the body would have been unbearable at any other time.
Jaws: The Enduring Mystery of the Missing Painting
After all, if we are to be brutally honest, the image of the oversized shark about to devour the naked woman swimming, unaware of her fate at the surface of the water, is probably just as recognizable across the globe as the Mona Lisa and took as much artistic talent and technique to create as anything Andy Warhol or Banksy ever dreamed up. If you think I am taking this a little too personally, you are right. After all, the artist, Roger Kastel, is my father.

Zaha Hadid in 10 Designs
Architecture Zaha Hadid was undoubtedly one of the most important architects of the last hundred years. She forged her individual style and blazed a trail for women in architecture, being the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2004.

Both/And | DailyArt Magazine | Art History Stories
There are many social, political, scientific, and economic models that are embracing the idea of the “both/and” philosophy. It is my contention that artists are ahead of the game with this, and have pretty much always based their work in this messy but very human arena. Both/and is an idea that embraces paradox. From the ancient Chinese yin-yang model right up to quantum physics.

You know, calm, colorful, and vibrating paintings of water, fields, cities.
