Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 11 класс, Титул: 4 A. Read the following description of Rembrandt’s picture The Return of the Prodigal Son. • Match the words in bold with the explanations below. «…I was standing in front of Rembrandt’s picture The Return of the Prodigal Son and that was a moment I would have liked to be stretched out longer. I love his work, I love the way he depicts people and his sensitivity and the darkness of his colours. When I was looking at The Return of the Prodigal Son I could really have stayed there for hours probably because there is so much to see in the picture, so many emotions, such intensity in the moment when the father welcomes the son back from his wanderings. It’s such an evocative picture — one, which I could just look at for ages. Rembrandt’s use of colour and light and shade is something that’s always impressed me, particularly the blend of light and shade. In that picture, which, I think, is one of his later works, he seems to accomplish it in a masterful way. So much to see… And somehow the parable that is in the picture, is quite close to my own experience, and I would really have loved to have stayed with it for a longer time, but that’s a picture gallery for you, you can’t escape the need to go on to the next thing!» *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
