Nicolaes Tulp (9 October 1593 – 12 September 1674) was a Dutchsurgeon and mayorof Amsterdam.
Thanks to his connections on the city council, in 1628 Tulp was appointed Praelector Anatomiae at the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a 17th century Dutch painter whose most famous paintings included The Prodigal Son, The Night Watch and Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp.
Tulp also discovered the ileocecal valve at the junction of the large and small intestines, still known as Tulp's valve.
Tulp minutely described the condition we know as migraine, the devastating effects to the lungs caused by tobacco smoking, and reveals an innate understanding of human psychology in a description of the placebo effect.
Rembrandt Prints are the best form of the Dutch Golden Age of painting and make an ideal choice for those looking to buy prints for their homes. Culturally, his portrayal by Rembrandt signifies how prominent physicians were regarded as public intellectuals, contributing to the era's rich tapestry of innovation in both science and art.
It is strange to think that while Tulp made observations of various diseases, treatment continued in the age-old way. The Mill by Rembrandt differs from those of other artists mentioned here because of the dark setting in which this artist placed most of his famous paintings.
Storm on the Sea of Galilee
Storm on the Sea of Galilee, above, by Rembrandt marks an unusual point in his career where he went away from the typical religious depictions and portraits which were more commonplace.
Fortunately for Rembrandt, he also enjoyed and excelled at portrait painting whilst others have traditionally had to revert to it against the preferences because of it's ability to finance an artist's career.
A key moment in Rembrandt's career was when he lodged with Hendrick van Uylenburgh who played an important role in his life for two very different reasons.
An ambitious young man, he adopted the tulip as his family shield and changed his name to Nicolaes (a more proper version of the name Claes) Tulp.

The criminal's name was Aris Kindt.
Partially as a result of the success of his books, Tulp became Mayor of Amsterdam in 1654, a position he held for four terms. Night Watch received criticism from those who had commissioned it and demanded significant alterations which the painter refused, confident in the qualities of what he had produced.
Rembrandt again darkens the less important areas of the scene to draw the eye immediately to what for him was important.
Man with Helmet
Man with Helmet illustrates Rembrandt's great use of colour and lighting in this portrait which is amongst his most respected, academically and with the art public. This website introduces you to his finest oil paintings and offers trusted places to buy print reproductions of them online.
Shocked at the exhorbitant prices asked for useless anti-plague medicines (Amsterdam was severely hit by the plague in 1635), Dr. Tulp decided to do something about it. When he returned to Amsterdam he became a respected doctor and married Aagfe Van der Voegh in 1617. The vessels were only visible to the naked eye when the subject had recently eaten.
There were two popular anatomical Latin texts on this subject, by William Harvey and Marcello Malpighi.
