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.
The reading and lecture are both about the reliability of paintings. The article questions regarding the paintings, created by the Rembrandt, for some potrays governing the woman's face. However, the lecturer states that each of the paintings was created by the Rembrandt, and refutes each of the author claims by providing the following evidences.
First, the reading states about some inconsistencies about the potray of woman dressed in the paintings. The professor opposes it by providing the evidences about the X-rays and analysis of the pigment of design, and shows forecolour was the part of a regional paintings.
Second, the article posits that Rembrandt doesn't includes the elements in the sense to fit together being the master of painting--Dutch painters. However, the professor says forecolour was removed by the original, and on illuminating by the light colour, the result seems so.
Third, the reading says about the back of a painting, and there is a panel of several pieces of wood glued. On the contrary, the professor expresses that due to the addition of fore colour these woods expands slightly. Morever,she explains that the original painting was made from the single pieces of wood
