Aris Kindt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aris Kindt (Aris the Kid) was the alias of a man (real name Adriaan Adriaanszoon) convicted of armed robbery in the Netherlands in the early 1600s. He was sentenced to death by hanging. His body was later autopsied by the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons on 16 January 1632. His autopsy was later captured in the 1632 Rembrandt painting Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, which depicts the surgeon Nicolaes Tulp at work. He is talked about in the book "The Rings of Saturn" by W.G. Sebald
