Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are doubts whether some paintings attributed to Rembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the woman’s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. But there are problems with the painting that suggest it could not be a work by Rembrandt. First, there is something inconsistent about the way the woman inthe portrait is dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only servants would wear-yet the coat she is wearing has a luxurious fur collar that no servant could afford. Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects’ clothing, would not have been guilty of such an inconsistency.
Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and shadow, but in this painting these elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated by light reflected onto it from below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, which would absorb light rather than reflect it. So the face should appear partially in shadow-which is not how it appears. Rembrandt would never have made such an error.
Finally, examination of the back of the painting reveals that it was painted on a panel made of several pieces of wood glued together. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels, no painting known to be by Rembrandt uses a panel glued together in this way from several pieces of wood. For these reasons the painting was removed from the official catalog of Rembrandt’s paintings in the 1930s.
In the reading, the author claims that there are doubt about several painting which whether they are actually painted by Rembrandt, the well-known painter of the seventeenth-century Dutch, or nor by pointing out three reasons of support. However, finding all the ideas questionable and implausible, the lecturer presents some evidence to the contrary.
At first, the author argues that there are some inconsistency in the works specially clothing, but Rembrandt is known for focusing on the details of his subject's clothing and he would not have been guilty for this inconsistency. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that for increasing the value of the painting, after Rembrandt, they have added some thing to the portraits. According to her, this portrate is not the original one.
In addition, the reading holds the view that light and shadow in these painting do not fit together, so these painting are not attributed to Rembrandt who is the master artists of light and shadow. On the other hand, the lecturer disputes this point by clarifying the fact that this is because of the color of clothes that illuminate color in the portrate.
Finally, the author asserts that the paitings are painted in several woods that glued together and none of the Rembrandt's works use a panel made of several pieces of wood as the last point for supporting the idea that these painting are not recognized as Rembrandt's work. The lecturer, though, dismisses it by pointing out that actually the painting are painted on a single piece of wood which is form of a tree that another works also are painted on it. As she states like the portrate with a hat.
