Rembrandt's paintings
The main subject of the passage and lecture has to do with one painting attributed to Rembrandt, the most renowned painter among Dutch painters. The passage casts doubt on the held view that such painting is ascribed to Rembrandt and provides three indications that show inconsistencies between this work and his other works. On the other hand, the lecture explains the root of all these apparent inconsistencies and imputes it to him.
The first inconsistency the reading points out is related to the way the woman in the portrait is dressed. The woman is wearing a coat with a luxurious fur collar that is at odds with her other dress parts which are cheap. This kind of inaccuracy is not possible in his painting in light of his attention to details of his subject’s clothes. Although the lecture confirms that this fact is true, it states that with further examination of the portrait with an x-ray method and color pigment analyses, researches have figured out that the fur collar was added to the original painting about one hundred years later so that the value of the painting might have been increased by making it look like a portrait of an affluent woman.
Second, the reading argues that the light and the shadow existing in the portrait are at odds with each other. The fur collar is dark, and therefore it must absorb light rather than reflect it. However, the direction of light on the woman’s face indicates that it receives light from the reflection under his face. The lecture expresses that by removing the added fur collar, it has been found out that there was bright-colored clothes instead of dark-color one under the added collar, which justifies the reflection of light on the woman’s face. This painting, therefore, can be consistent with his other works, depicting the precise relationship between light and shadow.
Finally, although he used only a seamless wood panel for his drawings, this portrait’s panel was created from several pieces of wood. The reading views this as a fact that this is not one of his works, while the lecture makes clear that these pieces of wood stuck to the main part of the panel on which the original painting was drawn when the original collar was changed in order for the painting to seem invaluable. The lecture also provides another proof that the wood used in the original panel of the painting originated from the same tree as that of another painting which is certainly one of his masterpieces.
