Question

Pesaro Madonna by Titian. A man kneels in front of Saint Peter and the Virgin on a high throne. A Turk and Moor are being held by a knight who is holding a large colorful flag.

What artistic skills are best represented in the image above?
a.
light and shadow
b.
color and form
c.
perspective
d.
none of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer would likely be **b. color and form**. Titian is well-known for his use of vibrant colors and the way he captures the forms of his subjects, giving them a sense of depth and volume. While light and shadow (chiaroscuro) and perspective are also important elements in his work, the emphasis on color and form is particularly significant in the "Pesaro Madonna."
