Siegal (A Little Trouble With the Facts) sets her splendid, gory second novel in 1623 in Amsterdam, where a thief's execution occasions a celebration, evoking 'bloodlust' throughout the city on 'Justice Day.' Some of the narrators are famous men: Rembrandt, who painted Anatomical Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, on which the novel is based, and Descartes, who is '‘searching for the soul in the body.' ' Siegal gives voice not only to artists and philosophers, but also to the condemned man Adriaen Adriaenszoon, among others. Adriaen pleads, '‘There is no evil in my breast.'
' The evil, Siegal hints, might well lie in a place where Justice Day is received with such pleasure. Adriaen's pregnant lover, Flora, is the only person clamoring for possession of the man's body out of love—to give it a 'Christian burial' after she fails to convince a clerk at the town hall to issue a pardon. Alive, Adriaen's body is 'beaten and branded' by his Calvinist father and by several Dutch towns. As a mere object, people want his corpse 'for science' and 'for art.' 'All of us sought his flesh,' Rembrandt muses. Through masterful use of subtle details, embroidered into beautiful writing, Siegal suggests that art and violence often intertwine.
Art Lover's Book Club: 'The Anatomy Lesson' by Nina Siegal 'A single day in Amsterdam, 1632. The Surgeons’ Guild has commissioned a young artist named Rembrandt to paint Dr. Nicolaes Tulp as he performs a medical dissection. 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp' depicts the dissection of the flexor tendons of the left arm of a cadaver by the eponymous doctor while an attentive audience of his peers, identifiable members of the medical and anatomical community of early 17th century Amsterdam, looks on. Nina Siegal's novel tells her imagined back story of this richly illustrated anatomy lesson which, once you read her captivating novel, will make you ask yourself, as I did, why no one has thought fit to do so.

8 April 2014Using the voices of alternating narrators, shares the events leading up to Rembrandt’s famous 1632 painting:. Our main characters are the man who is to hang for thievery crimes, his pregnant partner who tries to have him released, the curio dealer who will deliver his body to the anatomy, the doctor who will perform the dissection, the artist who will paint the dissection and the man who searches for a tangible soul within the body. Siegal names these characters the body, the heart, the mouth, the hands, the eyes, and the mind and uses their points of view to shape her novel, a work of art and historical fiction.The book flows pretty well.
Despite the alternating narrators and a few jumps back in time, it is easy for the reader to understand the course of events. The only exception to this is a few interruptions (chapters) by a present day restorer who is working on the piece.

This “addition” actually subtracted from the overall quality of the novel. Other than that, I have few complaints. The story was interesting from the beginning, appropriate dialogue seemed to be used for the 17th century, and the characters were fairly well developed and interconnected. Siegal clearly did her research and reading made me feel that I had been transported to Amsterdam in 1632. For those interested in art fiction or historical fiction about that time period, especially anyone with an interest in Rembrandt, this would be a fascinating read.
