Question

Renaissance paintings of Christ with this trait inspired a two-word Latin phrase coined by Leo Steinberg in a book partly titled for “Modern Oblivion.” Ten men with this title trait fight in front of dense vegetation in an engraving by the Florentine goldsmith Antonio del Pollaiuolo (“poll-eye-WO-lo”). John Berger wrote that one term for this trait is a state of being whereas a synonym is a conventionalized artistic construct, responding to a “Study of Ideal Art” titled for (10[1])a subject with this trait by Kenneth Clark. Daniele da Volterra removed depictions of this (10[1])trait, earning the nickname Il Braghettone, in edits to Michelangelo’s Last Judgment made after the Council of Trent condemned this trait’s (10[1])depiction (10[1])in religious art. (10[1])For 10 points, Renaissance artists often avoided depicting what (10[1])trait via the inclusion of fig leaves? ■END■
