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 passage and the lecture discuss about the well-known artist of seventeenth-century Rembrandt, and casts doubt on his one of the painting. Both argue that whether the painting is made by Rembrandt or not. The article states that the painting is not made by Rembrandt, and provides three clues for the support. However, the professor believes that the painting belongs to Rembrandt only.
Firstly, the article states that the woman is wearing a fur coat and a hat which are inconsistent with the complete painting. Since she is apparently a servant by looking at her hat. The professor argues to this point that the original painting was recolored by another painter in order to make it look like an aristocratic lady and to increase its price of the portrait.
Secondly, the article claims that while Rembrandt was expert and mastered the light and shadow elements in the painting, this picture actually consists of many errors. This point was challenged by the professor, she says that illumination of light on woman’s face was correct, but after adding colors to the original painting it was mistaken. Further, she puts her point stating that in the original painting, the woman is wearing light colored dress which reflects the light on her face. Thus, there is consistency between woman’s dress and produces realistic shadows.
Finally, the passage posit that the back panel used for painting was made of several pieces of wood which then glued together and this is quiet unusual in the Rembrandt’s paintings. Notwithstanding, the lecture rebuts this point, and states that the painting was made on the single piece of the wood similar to his other paintings and pieces of wood was added later in order to make it a grand painting. Also, professor says that the wood used to enlarge the panel is identical to the same tree wood as used by Rembrandt. Thus, from professor’s explanations we ensures that the painting was made by Rembrandt.
