Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born on July 15, 1606, in Leiden, the Netherlands. Combining a deep understanding of human nature with brillian

39、t technique, he produced nearly 600 paintings. Rembrandt“s work is famous for its command of light and dark, often using contrast to draw the viewer into the painting. This feature is well-shown from his early work, during the 1620s in Amsterdam. The Night Watch (1642), his largest painting, is a go

40、od example: the background is covered in darkness, while the figures at the fore stand in the brightness. His style followed that of his teacher Pieter Lastman in the choice of dramatic subjects, crowded compositions, and contrasts of light and shadow. Using large canvases and strong tones, Rembrand

41、t painted dramatic scenes and also produced small, detailed work with religious and allegoric themes. From the late 1630s, Rembrandt began to paint landscapes. These works were tormented by nature, showing mysterious scenes such as huge fallen trees in a storm or dark, threatening skies. Such charac

42、teristics can be found in his painting Stormy Landscape (1638). Towards the end of his life, Rembrandt painted some of his finest self portraits, showing a face on which grief and sorrow had left their marks. They reflected his painful family as opposed to his successful public career. The numerous

43、self-portraits he produced give us a remarkable record of the aging process of his own facial features in addition to the changes of his personal character. Compared to other artists of his time, Rembrandt studied the world surrounding him more clearly and with greater insight. The consistently high

44、 standard throughout his work has eared Rembrandt the reputation as one of the central figures in the Golden Age of“ Dutch art, along with Hals and Vermeer. Furthermore, it is known that Rembrandt ran a large workshop and had many pupils. His fame was such that important dignitaries visiting Amsterd

45、am wished to buy pieces, and he was more than willing to comply if he could. The list of Rembrandt“s pupils from his period in Leiden as well as his time in Amsterdam is quite long, mostly because his influence on painters around him was so great that it is difficult to tell whether someone worked f

46、or him in his studio or just copied his style for patrons eager to acquire a Rembrandt. Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank. Rembrandt was one of the most renowned artists of the Baroque period. He combined a profound

47、 understanding of humanity with excellent 1 to become one of the greatest artists in Western history. His work is famous for its use of differing tones of darkness and 2 to produce dramatic effect. Rembrandt“s landscape work contained 3 scenes, while his portrait work charted his aging and 4 pain. H

48、is insight and consistent brilliance has established him as a true master of art. He owned a workshop in Amsterdam and he always painted for important 5 . Also, he had many pupils working in his studio all the time.（分数：10.00）十五、Part Translation(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十六、Section A(总题数：1，分数：5.00)16.Much of the discussion of environmental probl
