Da Vici's famous portrait, the Mona Lisa, is thought 2 have appeal 2 da Renaissance imagination cuz it reveals

Question

Which one pick.. A)Subtractive color mixing B)The psychology of the sitter C)Nweoplatonist influence D)Perfect linear perspective

Answer 1

B)

Answer 2

I would think that B couldn't be the right answer because during the Renaissance era psychology as such wasn't a known factor. Philosophy, yes. Psychology, no. And the answer would not be C because the Renaissance was pre-Napoleon so there could not have been such influence.

So the right answer would either have to be A or D.

I would think, because shape and form and architecture were very highly held during the Renaissance that D would be the answer because of the perfect perspective Da Vinci displayed in this painting.

Answer 3

There was no psychology during the renaissance but i do think is b. One of the reason why Leonardo was seen such a great artist during his time was because he did more than just pain his sitters. take for example his last supper and compare it to those of his contemporaries. Leonardo carefully studied each one of the personalities of the disciples and incorporated it in the mural. so each one is reacting differently after Jesus says one of you will betray me, one is in disbelief another one is shock another one is reassuring his adherence to Jesus and so forth. what makes the Mona Lisa such a good painting and different from the last supper is that in the last supper we can tell what's in the minds of the the disciples and Jesus, in the Mona Lisa however things are much more ambiguous. we now credit the analysis of the sitter's mind as psychology, we are using a modern term to describe something leonardo was doing in his paintings.

Answer 4

Definately B
