    Abstract

    In 1731, Cornelis Troost (1696-1750) painted three wardens of the surgeons' guild in Amsterdam. We know their names from the family coats of arms shown on the wall behind them. The same coats of arms and names are painted in the dome of the Anatomy Theatre in the 'Waag', the former weighing house at the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam, which also housed the board room of the surgeons' guild. The 84 coats of arms in the beautifully restored dome are a testimony of the rich history of the surgeons' guild.
