The paper discusses the problem of autopsy in the XVII century. As inspiration for reflections some paintings of Rembrandt are used. Autopsy merges in them as the last, though not the only one, act of body torment performance, thanks to which not only the secrets of human body interior but also empirical horizons of medical research are disclosed. The intellectual background of that period (Bacon's empiricism, rationalism of Descartes, mechanics) allows for medical experience and scientific knowledge about the human body.
本文探讨了17世纪的尸检问题。作为思考的灵感来源，文中引用了一些伦勃朗的画作。在这些画作中，尸检成为了对身体折磨表演的最后一项行为，尽管并非唯一一项，正是通过尸检，不仅人体内部的秘密，而且医学研究的经验视野都得以揭示。那个时期的知识背景（培根的经验主义、笛卡尔的理性主义、机械论）为人体医学经验和科学知识提供了支持。
