Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they answer the specific problems presented in the reading passage.
Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. How¬ever, there are doubts whether some paintings attributed to Rembrandt were actu¬ally 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 an inconsistency. Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and shadow, but in this paint¬ing 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一 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 Rem¬brandt's paintings in the 1930s.
The article introduces the topic of a painting which was made by Rembrandt, a one of the most famous Dutch painters in the seventeenth century. The paintwork, portrait of an Ederly woman in a White Bonnet, is not a work of Rembrandt according to the reading passage. However, the lecturer in the listening passage disagrees. she believes that the picture was painted by Rembrandt and refutes each of the claims in the text.
In the paragraphs, the author begin by stating that Rembrandt could not paint a portrait of a woman who has an incongruence of her clothes because he pay attention on the details. In this case, the woman looks like as a servant but carry a luxurious fur collar. The professor argues this statement and mention the cause of this error: the picture was altered. As a result, the original version did not have inconsistency so it is true that it was created by Rembrandt.
The book also propose that light and shadow do not fit together as in the other work of Rembrandt. The speaker refers to her previous argument and add that this is related on the disturbance of the original work. Furthermore, she tells that the restauration of the picture also show the elements have fit very well.
Another reason why the author feels that the paintwork was not made by Rembrandt is that panel was joined by several pieces of wood, something that nobody finds in other work of Rembrandt. The professor is doubtful that this is right. She suggests that the change of main painting increases the size of it. In consequence, person who did that changes put several pieces of wood together in order to raises the panel.
