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 about a painting of a woman which is ascribed to great Dutch painter of seventeenth century, runbrandet which can be or can’t be a work of him. The reading claims that the painting is mistakenly attributed to him and provides three reasons for this claim while the author cast doubt on arguments in reading.
First the reading claims that inconsistency of woman’s wearing reject the ascription. The woman is wearing a linen cap mainly used by servants while she has a coat with luxurious fur collar which a servant can’t afford. This argument propose that the painting is not a work of runbrandet who was famous for his attention to characters details. The professor challenges this argument by saying x-ray investigation of painting shows that fur collar was painted over the original painting may be to add value of painting.
Second the author uses an error in lighting and shadows of painting to show this painting is not runbrandet’s work. In the painting light is from below and fur collar must absorb the light instead of reflecting so the face should be partially shadowed while in the painting face is not shadowed that is unlikely to be runbrandet’s painting. The professor debates this argument by saying if fur collar removed from painting, there is no error in original painting.
Third reason author mentions is back panel of painting. Analyzing back of painting shows some pieces of wood glued together in spite of rudbrandet’s painting with single piece of wood as panel. The lecturer again rejects this reason and asserts the original painting was painted on a single pieces of wood but later it was enlarged and fur collar was added for adding value of painting.
