Question

choose the words to fill in the blank, which best complete the sentence.
the painting above is called the holy family, by ____(1)__, who is considered a master of __(2)____
a. (1) géricault; (2) impasto c. (1) turner; (2) shade and shadow
b. (1) michelangelo; (2) modeling d. (1) correggio; (2) sfumato

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Géricault is known for works like "The Raft of the Medusa", not "The Holy Family", and impasto is a different technique. Eliminate a.
• Option b: Michelangelo painted "The Holy Family" (also called "Doni Tondo"). He was a master of modeling (using light and shadow to create 3D form). This matches.
• Option c: Turner was a landscape painter, not associated with "The Holy Family". Eliminate c.
• Option d: Correggio's style and works differ from this painting. Eliminate d.

Answer:

b. (1) Michelangelo; (2) modeling
