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 an artwork titled for this activity, (15[1])a blue-and-orange curtain in the left foreground 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, (-5[1])a (*) Vermeer artwork is sometimes called “The Allegory of” this activity. (10[1])During the Baroque period, the tenebrist style of this activity used black and brown primers for dramatic lighting. For 10 points, name this act of applying oils to a canvas. ■END■ (10[1])
