The article introduces the topic of the famous painter Rembrandt. More specifically, it discussess the one of the painting of Rembrandt, which contains doubt its creation. However, the lecturer in the listening section diagrees; she believes that the painting was actually painted by the Rembrandt.
To begin with, the reading passage posits that there is inconsistency about the women's dress in the painting. However, the professor refutes this statement and mentions that the luxurious fur collar wasn't the part of the original painting. She continues saying that someone had modified in order to add value to the painting.
Moreover, the article claims that painting elements donot fit together in the painting and Rembrandt would never have made such an error. The professor opposes this statement and says that the original painting contained the simple color that reflected the light and the painting was realistic; the fur color was added by the person who changed the painting's fur collar.
Furthermore, the reading passage explains that the painting was painted on a panel made up of several pieces glued together and Rembrandt never used the paned glued together. Nevertheless, the professor disagrees with this explanation and claims that the painter who modified the painting had modified and glued the panels in order to make it larger and the wood used in the panel is same as the wood Rembrandt had used in his other paintings. Therefore, the painting belongs to the Rembrandt.
