Bonus
For his 1708 book Balance of Painters, French critic Roger de Piles (“duh PEEL”) made a table that gave numeric ratings to 58 painters. For 10 points each:
[10e] De Piles’s highest ratings for “color,” at 18 out of 20, were a tie between this Venetian artist of Venus of Urbino and his teacher Giorgione.
ANSWER: Titian [or Tiziano Vecelli; accept any underlined portion]
[10m] De Piles gave a 0 for “expression” to this man, who showed a robed man staring upward open-mouthed on a rocky landscape in St. Francis in Ecstasy. He worked on a huge painting of St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria with his elder brother.
ANSWER: Giovanni Bellini [prompt on Bellini; prompt on G. Bellini] (His elder brother is Gentile Bellini.)
[10h] Two answers required. De Piles was involved in a debate over these two artists among the French Academy. One of these artists, a French painter of classical landscapes, represented the merit of design, while the other, from a neighboring country, represented the merit of color.
ANSWER: Nicolas Poussin AND Peter Paul Rubens [accept Poussinists AND Rubenists]
