TPO-3: Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made 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 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 passages casts doubts on the painter of potarait of an 'Elederly woman'. however, the lecturer states the rembrandt is the true painter of the painting.

Firstly, the author states that inconsistency in the cloths of painted lady is not expected from the great painters such as Rembrants. As a counter argument to this point, the speaker praposes that the collar was added around 100 years after the original painting was made. this was done to give more sophestication to the lady in painting, thus can result in adding more value to painting.

Secondly, the writer in the passage sugggest that imperfect use of light and shadow raises question for painting to be original work of rembrandt. The speaker again stands in firm opposition of this claim. he states that, addition of color to fur collor has led to inconsistency of light and shadow in the painting. If we remove the this additional color, the painting would refelect the perfect combination of light and color.

Finally, the argument presented by writer about use multiple glued wood instead of a single wood as it was characteristics of rembrandt's other works has only scratched surface of the point. The speaker, however, presents the detailed discussion regarding this. he posits that the peice was added later on to give the painting grand look. this was all done to increase the market value of the painting.
