Question : Summarise the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they case doubt on specific points made in the reading passage.
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 "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet." The painting was 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 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.
Both the reading and the speaker talk about the painting known as "Portrait of an Elderly woman in a white bonnet", which is paintated by rembrandt. The former was not agreed that this painting done by the rembrandt while the lateral provides several resons to supports that this done by rembrandt.
To begin with, the reading states that the woman's dress in the portrit is inconsistent. The reading notes that woman is wearing white line cap which mostly servant were which is not the rembrandt style of paintaing. On the other hand, the speaker says that the x-rays and the analysis of the colour of the paintaing revels that this white line was added 100 years later to the original paintaing. he also mentions that this was done to increase the value of the paintaing.
Moreover, the passage contends that painting light and shadow was the style of the rembrandt and this painting does not show that. However, the professor says that original painting was simple color cloth which reflect the light on the face, so this painting belongs to rembrandt.
Furthermore, the article contends that painting was done on several pieces of wood which is glued together. Auther's opinion is that rembrandt only does paintaing on the single wood panel. Once again the speaker was not agree. he explains that original painting was done on the single wood only, later some one added small wood to look attractive. in addition, the examination of the wood revels that it was made from the tree which rembrandt mostly use for his painting.
