Roots Of Knowledge Panel P3

Baroque musicians, along with a Mongolian player of the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), perform in this scene set outside the Parisian palace of Versailles. Beyond music, the 1600s saw great strides in medical science and political philosophy. On the left side of the window is a revision of Rembrandt’s painting, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholaes Tulp, but with the addition of a more diverse circle of onlookers. Also framing the window in the lower-left corner is the King James Bible and a copy of the Mayflower Compact.
