• EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY: THE ANATOMY LESSON OF DR TULP - EP 8 OF 8

Presenter Waldemar Januszczak asks why is Rembrandt's painting, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Tulp, so great. In the 17th century, the Dutch developed a passion for public dismemberment. Dissections became a public event that would last from three to five days. Born in 1609 and moving to Amsterdam in 1631, Dr Tulp was an ambitious man who commissioned the newly arrived Rembrandt to paint this picture of one of his anatomy lessons mounted in 1632 by the Surgeons' Guild. The painting made Rembrandt's reputation and he went on to paint some of Amsterdam's finest people.

Architonic

Architonic is a website that may be of interest to students of architecture and interior design. Architonic describes itself as 'the independent resource for architecture and design'. This website includes information on News & Trends, Products & Materials, Architecture & Design.

Architonic's vision:

"With our carefully considered showcase of over 60,000 premium design products and materials, Architonic is the number-one online community for architects, designers, home-owners and design enthusiasts. 3.8 million visitors a year choose Architonic as their guide to the very best of current design.

It’s a jungle out there.
We live in a world where furnishings, fittings and materials proliferate. It’s become a full-time job, keeping track of what’s out there. That’s where Architonic comes in. With our international network of architecture and design professionals, all keeping an expert eye on what’s new and, more importantly, what’s good, we’ve hand-picked the finest designs the market has to offer. Only the best products receive the Architonic seal of approval. In short, we’ve done all the research, so you don’t have to.

The bigger picture.
A design product isn’t something that exists in isolation. At Architonic, we believe that the relation between product and the architectural space to which it’s applied is fundamental to a successful project. That’s why we’ve pioneered the linking of architectural projects with the furnishings, materials and fittings that have been used in their execution, resulting in a completely new information resource for architects and planners, as well as for designers and manufacturers.

We are Architonic.
With our head office in Zurich, Architonic AG is an internationally based team of architects, designers, IT experts and marketing professionals. Our key aim is to generate up-to-the-minute and relevant expert information and knowledge, and to distribute this across the Architonic community of architects, designers, researchers, manufacturers and retailers.
