Medicine on Canvas

Interesting collection of paintings concerning medicine, including Rembrandt's brilliant "Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp," 1632, and Eakins's two Clinic pictures.

From call for public art for new medical examiner's building

From the call for public art to be placed in a new medical examiner's building in downtown Orlando:

"[seeking work] that will embrace grieving families in a calming and soothing atmosphere as they come to deal with the passing of a family member.

"Site located on the intersection of two streets – Michigan Street and Bumby Avenue. The other corners hold an electrical substation, a storage facility and a strip mall with a pizza shop."

Yeah, that was Mom's body all right -- at least I think so. Kinda hard to tell with it all flat like that. I want all you kids to understand exactly what this means: Pizza!! Let's go!!
