Essay topics:
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 in the 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.
Questions:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The article and the lecture are both about paint of an elderly woman in a white Bonnet. The author of the reading feels that it could not be work by Rembrandt. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. The lecturer thinks that it’s done by Rembrandt.
First of all, the author argues that woman wear luxurious full collar and servant could not afford. The article is mentioned that Rembrandt was known attention to the details of his subject while his painting. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He claims the full collar wasn’t part of the original painting. Furthermore, he says that someone painted it hundreds of years after for increase the value of the painting.
Secondly, the author suggests that Rembrandt was master of painting light and shadows. The article notes that in this painting does not element shadow. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests original color of the painting removed by later. He elaborates on this by mentioning that light colored cloth of this collar reflecting that illuminates part of the woman’s face. Therefore, the face is not in partial shadow.
Finally, the author states that painting reveal that it was painted on one panel. Moreover, the article says that it made by several pieces of wood glued together. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that actual paint done in single piece of wood. He notes that researchers found another painting done by Rembrandt, his self portrait with a hat. This extra wood pieces added to the side for make the painting more grand and more value.
