Round 5: Tossup 15

A description of this activity from Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia inspired a depiction of it in which a woman in green wears a necklace with a mask pendant and angles her head towards the viewer. In (15[1])an artwork titled for this activity, a blue-and-orange curtain (-5[1])in the left foreground (-5[1])frames a woman who wears a wreath and holds a trumpet and a book. (15[1])Like a self-portrait (15[1])in profile by Artemisia Gentileschi, a (*) Vermeer artwork is sometimes called “The Allegory of” this activity. (10[1]-5[1])During the Baroque period, the tenebrist style of this activity used black and brown primers for dramatic lighting. For 10 points, (10[1])name this act of applying oils to a canvas.
