Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849-1921) American artist, naturalist and teacher. Thayer used his children—Mary in the center again—as models for this painting. Thayer began this group portrait of his children, Gladys, Mary, and Gerald, soon after the untimely death of their mother in 1891. He originally envisioned the central figure, Mary (who temporarily took charge of Gladys and Gerald), as Flora, the Greek goddess of flowers, but as the work progressed he decided to make her a Greek "Victory" figure instead, with clouds billowing behind her like wings. oil on canvas Arthur Freer Gallery of Art: Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C: www.asia.si.edu/collections/singleObject.cfm?ObjectNumber...

Rembrandt was 26 when he painted this group portrait, his first large commission. The painting was commissioned by the Amsterdam surgeons’ guild. Group portraits are often stiff compositions – a series of heads ranged in a row – but this was not the case with Rembrandt. Rembrandt portrayed the surgeons attending an anatomy lesson. The men sit or stand around a table holding a corpse. The instructor, Dr Tulp, having dissected an arm, uses forceps to lift up a bundle of arm muscles while making a demonstrative gesture with his other hand. ___________ 169.5 x 216.5 cm Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, the Netherlands.
